I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. … – Ephesians 1:18-19 (NIV)
Pray that we would be people who are filled with hope because of the gospel. Ask God to help you see beyond the moment to all that he has in store for you. Pray that he would work in power in your own life, freeing you to live for his glory. Ask God to make you ready to share the reason for your hope with neighbors and friends. Again, pray specifically (by name) that people in your circle will come to faith in Jesus this year.
