When we think of a new year we think of new beginnings, a chance to start over and do better, but for many of us there still is baggage from the year before to cope with. There have been family tragedies we never expected, ongoing illnesses to deal with, things you don’t just put to one side because it is a new year. However, through it all our faith is our strength and there will be positve results, whether a new year or not, we know the ”One” who will get us there. It’s tough when there is an ongoing situation, but we aren’t walking through it alone. There will always be a certain amount of baggage to carry around, we can either let it wear us down or use the strength of our faith to lift us up and get us through this new year!
Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Prayer:
Father, we come to you knowing the baggage we carry keeps us from becoming all that you want us to be. Help us to overcome and cope with the excess baggage we carry so we can focus on where you want us to be. In your precious name we pray. Amen
CARRYING EXCESS BAGGAGE INTO THE NEW YEAR!
