Isaiah 40:31 ‘but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.’ This year is almost at an end. Each year we start by setting goals and resolutions for ourselves. At the end of each year, we look back on reflection to see what those goals were and how we achieved or did not achieve them.
See it as a race. After each race, you feel a little weak and tired. Sometimes you feel like you cannot run anymore. Other times you feel like you can do better than you did before if you push a little harder. In our walk with God, we should see ourselves as athletes who will not stop until they are victorious.
We should learn to work harder and harder without giving up. Sometimes during races, athletes fall down but get up and finish the race anyway. As Isaiah said if God is your hope, you need not worry because he will keep strengthening and pushing you until you are where you want to be. There are things to pray about in 2022 that will help you tell God what is important to you in the race coming up.
This year has been a difficult one for a lot of people. The pandemic has caused much pain and suffering to this world. As Christians, it is our responsibility to look out for each other and pray for ourselves in times of trouble. The world is still a broken place where children are dying of hunger; people are perishing in sin and disease.
While we think of our own lives and the changes we want to see, we must remember people next door who desperately need interventions in their lives. We must pray for those who have lost their way.
Some souls living on earth have been given to the devil so they can get material things in return. We must stand in and reclaim these souls as Christian soldiers. Set yourself a target this year and make it your prayer point occasionally. Seek God’s face on a problem you have fought by yourself all this while and see where you are when the next year ends.

Next year is your next race. Don’t be too down about what is already lost. Focus on what’s to come. The devil will always try to break you with a worry or some kind of discouragement. The glory ahead of you will be greater than any pain you are suffering now. Do not give up and press on for your success. The fact that you are still here means that there is still a role for you to play in God’s perfect plan.
