What New Year Spiritual Resolutions Will You Make This Year?

Every New Year, millions of people start it with resolutions they make like losing weight, getting organized more, exercising more, eating healthier, and managing finances better. But, these are only material resolutions. And what about spiritual resolutions we can make?

Allow me to present you with some suggestions for spiritual resolutions that you can consider for this new year.

1. Pray first for each resolution you plan to make in the new year.

Seek God's face and say the David Prayer every morning for the next year.

"Create in me a pure heart, O God,

and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me from your presence

or take your Holy Spirit from me." Psalm 51:10-11

2. Spend time showing a good attitude to the Lord.

Determine to surrender all your attitudes to the Lord. Commit to making a difference at home, in the workplace, at the market, on the roads, and even in church.

You could make this passage your resolution:

"And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." Colossians 3: 14-15 (NIV)

3. Work as a team

Sometimes we think that we are forging our way alone. We live as if life depends entirely on us. However, if we are "in Christ" we are part of a team. In this new year seek God and His wonderful plan for your life through His word.

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17 (NIV)
