Reflection Questions
What am I carrying right now that feels too heavy to bring into 2026?
What patterns, fears, or habits need to be surrendered?
Where is the Lord nudging me to put down old ways and pick up something new?
And then…
What rhythms, spiritual, emotional, physical, relational, do I sense God inviting me to build?
How can I begin to live intentionally now, so I’m not just making plans, but living out His purpose?
Jer 29:11 says “for I know the plans I have for you, declares the lord, plans to prosper you not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Scripture Anchors: Surrender
As we prepare to surrender 2026 into God’s hands, let these promises steady your heart:
“You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” Psalms 139:16
God has already written every page of your story. 2026 isn’t a mystery to Him. It’s secure in His hands.
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You.” Isaiah 26:3
As you surrender your plans, His peace becomes your anchor.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5-6
Even when the path looks uncertain, His wisdom lights the way.
Prayer
Let’s pray together.
“Lord Jesus, here I am. I bring You my full heart, the burdens, the hopes, the tired places, and the desire to be renewed.
I surrender what no longer belongs and open my hands to receive what You have for me.
Root me deeply in Your love. Strengthen me to live with intention, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, and relationally.
And when the road curves in unexpected ways, remind me that hope isn’t lost… it’s found in You.
As I prepare for the holidays and these last few months of 2025, I place 2026 fully into Your hands. Write Your story through my life. Amen.”
Journal
Before you move on with your day, take out your journal and make two simple lists:
Three things you’re surrendering before 2025 ends, things that no longer serve where God is leading you.
Three rhythms or practices you want to begin now, habits that align your whole life with Him.
Don’t overthink it. Just write what the Spirit brings to mind.
This isn’t a resolution. It’s your foundation.
