Looking Ahead
"Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead."Philippians 3:13
Reflection
What is past is past. The new year arrives as a blank page, and God loves writing new stories.
Prayer
Father, prepare my heart for the year ahead. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What do you want to leave behind this year?
- What do you hope for in the new year?
- What new story could God write with you?
5-minute activity
Each person gets a blank sheet and writes or draws three hopes or goals for the new year. Pray over them together and keep the sheets to reread next December. Read Philippians 3:13-14.
