How much better would your new year be if your prayer life was what it should be? In 2024 work to have a stronger prayer life. Here are some things to pray for in 2024. One idea, focus a single prayer on the subject of the day, while still mentioning the others at least once in your daily prayers. Every Sunday, have a single special prayer that expresses the desire that God be glorified. Later, in other prayers express some of the other subjects. Monday, focus on thanksgiving in a single focused prayer, and use other prayers through the day to discuss the other subjects.

Sunday – Pray for the glory of God (Luke 17:11-19; cf. 2:13-14, 20) 

How often do you stop and pray that God be glorified? 

Monday – Pray in thanksgiving (Lk. 17:15-16; cf. 2:38)

How often do you stop and thank God for everything? 

Tuesday – Pray for spiritual growth and strength (Lk. 17:5) 

How often do you stop and ask God to strengthen you and help you grow? 

Wednesday – Pray for others (Lk. 6:27-28; cf. 23:34)

How many people could you mention in your prayers? How many have wronged you? 

Thursday – Pray for local church (Ac. 4:23-31; Phil. 1:3-6). 

How is the local church where you worship doing? How much better could they be doing if everyone prayed for it? 

Friday – Pray for opportunities to share faith (Ac. 13:1-3) 

How many people do you know that don’t know Jesus? Pray for them. 

Saturday – Pray for He cares for you (Lk. 11:9-13; 18:1-8; Ac. 10:31; cf. I Pet. 5:7) 

None of the rest of this would matter if God didn’t care. Pray in the new year because God cares. 

Bonus Prayers…

Pray before big decisions (Lk. 6:12-13; cf. 3:21)  

How many big decisions will you need to make this year; how many will you ask God about? 

Pray daily (Morning/evening) for daily needs (Lk. 11:3; cf. 6:12-13) 

How many mornings will start with God; how many evenings will you end with Him?
