Heavenly Father, God Almighty,
As I stand at the threshold of this new year, 2026, I come before You with a humble and hopeful heart.
First, I ask for Your blessing. Shower Your divine favor upon my path, that my life may be a testament to Your grace. Let every step I take be blessed by Your hand.
Guide me, Lord. Be my compass and my light in moments of decision and uncertainty. Lead me on the path of righteousness, purpose, and peace. When the way is unclear, whisper Your wisdom to my heart and direct my footsteps.
Protect me, my Shield and my Fortress. Guard me from all harm seen and unseen. Surround me, my loved ones, and my journey with Your angels. Be my refuge and my strength, a constant presence in times of trouble.
Prosper me, O Lord, according to Your perfect will. Grant me not merely material increase, but a true prosperity of spirit—a wealth of kindness, integrity, and gratitude. Bless the work of my hands and the intentions of my heart, that I may thrive and be a channel of Your provision to others.
And Lord, I ask for a special grace this year: grant me mastery over my own heart. Help me to control my emotions and my feelings. In moments of anger, grant me patience. In moments of anxiety, grant me Your profound peace. In moments of sorrow, grant me comfort and hope. In moments of fleeting joy, let me find my deepest joy in You. May my heart be anchored in Your unchanging love, so that my reactions reflect Your calm and my words speak Your truth in love.
I place this year, 2026, into Your mighty and loving hands. May it be a year of drawing closer to You, of growth, and of walking in Your perfect will.
I ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Prayer for good health, emotions, and prosperity
Merciful and Loving God,
I come before You today with a heart full of gratitude and hope, asking for Your hand of blessing upon every area of my life in this new season.
First, I pray for good health. Lord, You are the Great Physician. I ask for strength and vitality for my body, mind, and spirit. Heal any weakness, restore any fatigue, and fortify me with resilience. Grant me the wisdom to care for this temple You have given me, making choices that honor and nurture my well-being.
Next, I pray for good emotions and a sound mind. Father, calm the storms within my heart. Replace anxiety with Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding. Lift any heaviness of sorrow and fill me with Your joy. When frustration rises, grant me patience. Help me to manage my feelings, not be ruled by them. Anchor my soul in Your steadfast love, so that my inner world reflects the stability and grace found in You.
Finally, I pray for good prosperity. Lord, prosper me according to Your riches and purpose. Bless the work of my hands and the endeavors of my life. Provide not just for my needs, but also create abundance so that I may be a generous blessing to others. Let my prosperity be holistic—encompassing healthy relationships, spiritual growth, and a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.
I trust that all good things come from You. May my health allow me to serve, my emotions reflect Your peace, and my prosperity advance Your goodness in the world.
I receive these blessings with a thankful heart, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Prayer for good governance and an end to corruption in the Philippines
Almighty God, Father of all nations,
We lift up to You our beloved Philippines, our pearl of the Orient seas. We come before You today with a heart for our nation, interceding for those who lead and the systems that govern us.
We pray first for good governance. Raise up and surround our leaders at every level—from the national palace to the smallest barangay—with wise counselors and a spirit of integrity. Grant them clarity of vision, a genuine love for the people, and the courage to enact just laws. May they govern with humility, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to the common good. Bless our President, our legislators, our judges, and all public servants with the strength to prioritize service over self-interest.
We cry out for an end to the scourge of corruption. Lord, expose every deed of darkness done in secret. Break the chains of systemic greed, bribery, and dishonesty that cripple our progress and steal from the poor. Instill in the hearts of all in authority a profound fear of You and a deep love for righteousness. Strengthen our institutions of accountability—the Ombudsman, the courts, the auditors, and a free press—to be fearless pillars of truth and justice.
We also pray for ourselves, the citizens. Give us the courage to be honest in our own spheres of influence. Guard our hearts from cynicism and inspire us to be agents of change—to demand transparency, to vote with conscience, and to hold our leaders accountable with both truth and respect.
Heal our land, O God. Pour out a spirit of integrity, patriotism, and solidarity upon all Filipinos. May our nation be known not for corruption, but for justice; not for poverty, but for shared prosperity; not for division, but for unity under Your righteous standard.
We place our hope not in any person or party, but in You, the ultimate source of justice and peace. We ask for Your mercy and intervention, for the sake of every Filipino family and the future of our children.
We pray all this in the mighty and righteous name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
