5 Easy ways to start the New Year with God

It’s New Year’s resolution time! As we prepare our list of goals for the new year, let’s take time to reflect on 2015—what worked, what didn’t, how God changed us, and how well we served Him. From there, we can consider how to strengthen our walk with the Lord, serve Him more, and better share His story and love. Here are five easy suggestions to get you started.

1. Read at least one verse each day. There are numerous resources available, from verse-a-day emails to multi-chapter in-depth studies. Or you can just open your Bible and read a verse from Psalms or Proverbs.

2. Pray each day. It doesn’t take long, and can be done even while doing something else. I like having my talk with God each day as I drive to work.

3. Before going to bed, think about one way that God blessed you that day, and thank Him for it.

4. Join a Prayer Group. Some groups meet together periodically for an hour to pray. Others simply collect and share prayer requests, praying during their own time with God.

5. Set up automatic payments to the Bible-based charity of your choice.

I pray God blesses each of you greatly as we all work together to serve Him and further His kingdom in the new year.
