2026

Eph 1:15-20

"Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,"

John 17:15-17

"I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."

If prayer is your lifestyle, this reminder for the year 2026 might sound redundant, because I am hundred percent sure that you are really including your loved ones in your prayers, always. But this time, remind yourself to also pray for the specifics mentioned in the verses above, and alot a specific time for it. You can set an alarm to remind yourself to pray for them on this aspect at a given time. So you can have a reassuring peace that they are under God's favor and that God got them and you can leave your worries and anxieties behind. That's one of the wonders of prayers, it eradicate any form of fears and anxieties because you let God be God. The God who moves mountains and faithful to His words. 

And may we always remember, that:

1. Miracles happen when we pray, not because of who prayed, but because God is simply being the God He is.

2. When we pray, we don't command God to work, but it settles our hearts and mind with peace by reminding ourselves of who God is. 

3. Prayer is not an act to please God, but it is solely something that benefit us physically, mentally, and spiritually. 

4. Faith plays a big role when praying. It is something you get when you have a relationship with Jesus. It grew bigger as you get to know Him more and as you continue to walk your life with Him.

May your prayers be full of faith this 2026! Shalom!
