Start the New Year with Prayer

Happy New Year 2026!

The New Year is often a time to reflect on daily practices. One daily practice I plan to focus on in 2026 is prayer. The apostle Paul reminds us to be “constant in prayer” and to “pray without ceasing.” I keep a prayer journal next to my computer and jot down prayer requests I receive by email. I often pray for LWML volunteers and Office staff. This year I am committed to praying for each of our 2025–2027 mission grants. Our LWML Mission Grant Committee is writing mission grant resources that include prayer guides for each mission grant. All the information you need and suggestions for prayers are right at your fingertips. Won’t you join me in prayer this year?

I wish you a blessed New Year.

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer (Romans 12:12). Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
