In The New Year, I Will Renew
In this new year, I will renew these things:
I will renew my mind by studying the moral and spiritual truths found in The Good Book, learning how to live better for God and how to better teach others, and being more dedicated to God with my time, energy, resources, and goals.
I will renew my knowledge by examining closely the nature and characteristics of God and His Son, then imitate them (Ephesians 5:1; 1 Thessalonians 1:6).
I will renew my soul by focusing on things that are spiritual and eternal.
I will renew my strength by humbly depending on God and trusting Him.
I will renew my spirit by asking God to newly create in me a heart that is free from impurity along with a renewed spirit that will faithfully follow Him.
What I am in essence doing is renewing my commitment to the Lord.
