Personalize and Pray Scriptures for the New Year

Many of you know how I love to personalize and pray scriptures over myself, and over my family and friends. And I encourage other believers to do the same.

Because it’s so powerful when we pray specifc Bible verses back to God. In fact, I firmly believe this led to my atheist Father accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. I faithfully prayed salvation scriptures with his name for 16 years.

Also, this practice acquaints us with the Scripture and aids in its memorization.

So let’s look at Bible verses I chose to use for the new year. Remember your name or other names go in the blanks.

(1.) Personalize and Pray for God’s Love and Fullness

Lord, “May ________ have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that ________ may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 5:18-19 ESV)

(2.) Remind Our Hearts How We are New

Father, remind ________ “that in Christ, ________ is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (Or, “Remind me that in Christ, I am a new creation.”) (2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV)

(3.) Personalize and Pray for Hope in the New Year

“May the God of hope fill _______ with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit _______ may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13 ESV) Thank you, God. Real hope is only found in You.
