Have you ever seen the film 2012? Where John Cusack and fellow A-list Hollywood stars struggle to survive the end of the world. Quite the action blockbuster. However, whilst that is all special effect fiction, the New Year does often bring added pressure for people.
January blues, financial worries, other problems which seem to get blown out of proportion, it can be hard to give him your full trust. Setting out your stall with Him for the year ahead can often be difficult, delving deep into prayer when you have worrying thoughts in your mind.
Take this passage from Proverbs 3 (The Message):
Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.
And this one from 2 Thessalonians 3 (NLT):
May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.
Fall into Christ, let him guide your way this year. He knows exactly what is best for you and whilst the lows might often seem lower than usual, the peaks of your life will be fantastic. Let Him be your guiding light. Your life won't be a disaster movie!
