Respond
What are you hopeful for in 2021? Spend a few minutes today asking God how your hopes and goals for a new year align, or maybe don’t align, with His. It’s easy to be overwhelmed in a sea of hope for all kinds of things. Prayerfully pick just a few hopes or goals you feel God is laying on your heart. Pray for the power of Holy Spirit to direct you in those today.
