As a new year approaches, it’s easy to feel weighed down by doubt, fear, and uncertainty about what lies ahead. Yet Scripture calls believers to live differently—to walk by faith, not by sight. In 2 Corinthians 5:7, Paul reminds us that faith means trusting God beyond what we can see or understand. While circumstances may feel overwhelming, God is present, faithful, and actively working in our lives. This new year invites us to shift our focus from fear to faith, holding firmly to God’s promises and trusting Him to guide every step forward.

Main Takeaways

Dear God, help me walk by faith and not by sight as I step into this new year. Forgive me for the times I have focused more on fear than on Your promises. Teach me to trust You even when the path ahead is unclear. Strengthen my faith, guide my steps, and help me grow more into the likeness of Your Son. I place my hope in You, knowing You are good, faithful, and always with me.
Amen.
