Commit Your Plans to God

Scripture: “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3

Reflection:
New Year goals are good servants but poor masters. The wisdom of Proverbs re-centers us: we entrust our work to God, and He shapes the outcomes. For caregivers and leaders, this means we set priorities, yet hold them with open hands. God’s establishment may look like clarity, correction, or unexpected doors—each a sign of His care.

Prayer:
God, I place my plans in Your hands. Align my desires with Your purposes. Establish my steps for Your glory and others’ good. Amen.

Practice:
Write one goal for the year, then add a sentence that commits it to God: “I will ___, trusting God to establish it in His timing and way.”

New Mercies, New Beginnings

Scripture: “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22–23

Reflection:
The calendar turns, and with it God’s mercies greet us again. We don’t start the year as blank slates—but as beloved people with fresh grace. In chaplaincy, we see yesterday’s burdens carried into today. This text invites us to acknowledge those burdens while receiving mercy that is new enough for today’s needs. Newness isn’t erasing the past; it is God’s faithful presence redeeming it.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for mercies that meet us every morning. Renew our minds and steady our hearts. Let Your faithfulness set our pace this year. Amen.

Practice:
List three “new mercies” you notice today—in your body, your work, your relationships. Speak one of them aloud as a blessing over your day.
