Praying for happiness for you in 2022
Greeting friends and neighbors! This time of the
year we start making New Year resolutions. Are we going to be better people or
do better in 2022? We as Christians feel
we need to get closer to God than we ever have been before. In 2022 let’s try
to be more excited about having compassion, making a difference and serving
God. Stress will come with life! BUT, If you deal
with stress biblically it helps you to have a happier life. Remember, Proverbs
15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart
the spirit is broken. Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a
medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Friends, Think about good things! Philippians 4:8 Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.
Friends, Delight in the
Lord! Psalms 37:4 Delight
thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Decide to trust God for wisdom, knowledge
and spiritual understanding for all you future decisions in 2022! Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all
thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways
acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Colossians 1:9-11 For this
cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to
desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of
God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all
patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Friends,
Discipline Yourself! 1 Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it
into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I
myself should be a castaway.
Friends, Deny Negativity! Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
In conclusion: As we focus on a new year let’s
carefully and prayerfully ask ourselves these important questions and study
what the Word of God has to say about them.
As we make our New Year’s resolutions for Christ let us ponder on the
Lord’s Truth. The great thing
about that is you can always ask God for help. The Bible says: Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it
shall be opened. Philippians
4:6-7 (KJV) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And
the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus. Hebrews
4:14-16 (KJV) Seeing then that we have a
great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let
us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be
touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like
as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
