Lord God,
As this new year begins, I place my life in Your hands.

I thank You for carrying me through the year that has passed —
for every strength I did not know I had,
for every tear You saw,
and for every moment You were near, even when I felt alone.

I release what weighs on my heart:
the disappointments, the waiting, the questions, and the fears.
I surrender the need to control what only You can hold.

Teach me to trust Your timing,
even when I do not understand it.
Give me peace in my body, calm in my mind,
and hope that does not depend on outcomes.

Bless this new year with healing,
with restoration,
with openness to life in all the ways You choose to give it.

If motherhood is Your will for me,
prepare my body, my heart, and my home.
And if the path unfolds slowly,
give me grace to walk it without losing faith in myself or in You.

May this year be marked not by fear,
but by trust.
Not by striving,
but by surrender.
Not by despair,
but by quiet hope.

I place this year under Your protection.
Go before me, remain beside me, and dwell within me.

Amen. 🙏
