What steps are you taking to prepare for the new year?
Are you waiting for the year to change before you make a move?
If you desire different results—better results—then change must begin with you. Preparation is key.
This is how you can prepare for the new year:
Pause and reflect.
“Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.” — Lamentations 3:40
Do you need to build new habits and let go of old, unproductive ones?
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17
How do you want to be described?
“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” — Proverbs 22:1
What do you want to achieve?
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3
What do you need to do to be identified with those goals?
“Be doers of the word, and not hearers only.” — James 1:22
Even if this year has been your best so far, there is still room to make the next one better.
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” — Isaiah 43:18–19
Let us prepare for the new year—and even for the unknown.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5
Let us be optimistic about the coming year, and more importantly, let us build the right habits needed to transform our lives and create a life worth celebrating.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2
Remember, the life you live will be accounted for.
“So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.” — Romans 14:12
Therefore, give your best so you can make the best out of it. Make wise use of your time before you realize it is too late.
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12
I wish you the very best in the coming year, and I pray that it becomes our best year yet.
“The Lord bless you and keep you.” — Numbers 6:24
Hope to see you all in 2026. And never forget—we are living the valued life.
