Are you happy about the level of your commitment to God? Are there areas of your life where you need to make amends? Are you going to continue the way you are in the coming year? Are you satisfied with your kingdom service? Is there anything that you are carrying that you need to drop? Are there things you should not carry into the coming year? If you don’t look inwards, there is the tendency for you to make the same mistakes in the new year. May you not make the same mistake twice in the name of Jesus.
We must, therefore, humble ourselves and start looking at things from the perspective of God not in the way that we think that things should be. The best way to go about it is to align line by line with the standards of the word of God. There are two different standards: the Word standard and the world standard. May we never judge by the standards of the world. May we always judge our actions by the standard of the Word in the mighty name of Jesus so that the word of God may be our mirror.
For this personal introspection, this prayer is very important – what is it that makes you sad in the garden of my heart? Lord, please cleanse me, purge me, purify me. We need to understand the nature of God, this is very important. He is thrice holy. Anyone coming to him must understand that God is holy, holy, holy, thrice holy. This thrice holy God desires that we don’t carry any hurt into his presence. We must drop the things we need to drop, clean up so that we can move into his presence.
Sin is dense. It has a weight. Sin sinks. Sin stinks. The stench of sin is terrible for anyone to carry into the coming year.
Pray –
- May I not carry any sin into the coming year in the mighty name of Jesus.
- Is there any character flaw in me? May I not carry it into the coming year in the name of Jesus.
- Father, do not allow us to move into the coming year with any sin, any defilement, anything that binds, anything that fetters. Purify us and make us holy, pure and acceptable in your sight.
- Be not far from us, O God, attend to the voice of our supplication. Be thou our strong habitation whereunto we may continually resort. Thank you, mighty God, Holy One of Israel.
- I stretch my hands to you from whom all blessings flow. Please help me in the name of Jesus Christ. Cleanse me from secret faults.
- Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight in Jesus name.
- Father, is there any wicked way in me? Please have mercy. Help me, O God. Be not far from me, attend to the voice of my supplication. Be thou my strong habitation whereunto I may continually resort.
- Be not far from me. O God, cleanse me from secret faults. Wash me and purge me. Remove every trace of bitterness in me. Remove any trace of defilement in the name of Jesus.
- Clothe me with the garments of salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ. With the garments of righteousness, Lord, establish me in the name of Jesus Christ. Wash me and purge me O God.
- Wherever I have missed it, please forgive me. Be not far from me. O Lord, in your mercy cleanse me. In your mercy, purify me. In your mercy, purge me. In your mercy, sanctify me in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Hear my cry, O God. Attend to the voice of my supplication. Father, wash me thoroughly with the blood of Jesus. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart always be acceptable in your sight in the name of Jesus.
- You are the God who makes great things happen, Lord, remember me for good. Be not far from me in the name of Jesus. Cleanse me from secret faults. Wash me and make me acceptable in your sight in the name of Jesus. Thank you blessed Lord, in Jesus name.
