s the clock prepares to turn from 2025 to 2026, there’s an unmistakable sense of anticipation in the air. New Year’s Eve has a way of reminding us that God is not done writing our story. Each chapter leads to the next, each season prepares us for the one to come, and each step draws us deeper into His purpose.
For us, this isn’t just the end of a year—it’s the beginning of a new faith-filled journey.
A Year Marked by God’s Faithfulness
Looking back on 2025, we have seen God’s hand in ways that still leave us humbled. Mountains moved. Doors opened. Prayers answered. Lives touched. Hearts awakened. It hasn’t always been easy—but it has always been holy.
Every challenge became a stepping stone. Every delay held a divine purpose. Every victory revealed God’s goodness. Through it all, one truth has become clear: we are walking in God’s favor.
Not because we’re perfect.Not because we’ve earned it. But because He is faithful.
Stepping Into 2026 With Expectation
The beauty of the new year is that it holds both mystery and promise. We don’t know everything God has planned, but we know this: He goes before us.
As we enter 2026, we are stepping out in faith, believing that:
God will guide every decision
He will continue to make a way where there seems to be no way
Relationships will deepen and new ones will form
Provision will meet purpose
Ministry will expand in ways only God can orchestrate
Hearts will be healed, restored, and awakened
We are not walking into this new season alone. We are walking with Emmanuel—God with us.
Walking in God’s Favor
God’s favor isn’t a stroke of luck; it’s the evidence of His presence. It’s the peace that steadies us, the strength that carries us, and the grace that surrounds us. It doesn’t mean we won’t face challenges—but it does mean we won’t face them without Him.
Psalm 90:17 says,“May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.”
This is our prayer for 2026:Lord, establish what You have called us to do. Go before us, walk beside us, and stay behind us. Let Your favor rest on us as we follow You with boldness and obedience.
What the New Year Holds
The truth? We don’t have the full picture.
But we do know the One who holds it.
This year ahead holds opportunity. Growth. New beginnings. Fresh anointing. Unexpected blessings. Divine appointments. God-ordained connections. Miracles in motion. And a deeper, richer walk with Jesus.
And we are ready.
Ready to step out.Ready to trust.Ready to follow.Ready to see God do exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ask or imagine.
A Year of Favor, Purpose, and Calling
As we close out 2025, we do so with grateful hearts. And as we enter 2026, we step forward with expectation.
We are walking in God’s favor.We are stepping into His promises.We are believing for greater things.
May this new year be a reminder that God is not finished with us—and the best truly is yet to come.
Here’s to 2026: a year of faith, favor, and forward movement.
