A New Year’s Blessing For You

Step into the new year full of hope, truth, encouragement, and great expectations to see how God will move in your life with this New Year’s blessing.

One of my very favorite things about my church is at the end of every service, after the message and the worship, the pastor comes back on stage and he speaks a blessing over the congregation.

Many of us hold our palms out in front of us, reflecting the desires of our heart to fully receive his words.

Sometimes the blessing is connected to the sermon he just gave and sometimes it’s something else altogether, but it is always full of words of comfort and encouragement from Scripture that he uses to send us off into our weeks.

It is something that touches my heart deeply.

Another way to speak the Word of God into and over my life and I wanted to share that experience with you.

I pray for you regularly, even if I don’t know you by name.

So today, as you head into the new year with hopes, dreams, and plans, here is my blessing for you.

It’s longer than my pastor’s blessings, because, well, I have a heck of a lot of good things I want to pray over you!

  7. I love this! “Fear for Faith” is a focus for this especially as we are welcoming baby #2 in a few months and my son will be 21 months when she is born! I also really love how you tied each one with scripture. 🙂
