Bible Verses

First, I pray you will be willing to hand over ALL the ‘ashes’ from your life to God and allow Him to crown you with beauty. (Isaiah 61:3) You can’t have both so I hope you will leave the ashes where they belong, in your past. Don’t carry them into the New Year with you …

I ask God to help you to be brave and find courage in knowing He is with you at ALL times. (Deut 31:6)

I pray you will find hope in Jesus, and let Him be the anchor for your soul, firm and secure. (Hebrews 6:19)

I hope that … well, even if you have had to start over a million times, that you will be willing to stand at the starting line one more time. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of your Faith. (Hebrews 12:2) I pray you will not be afraid to ask Jesus for help, knowing that in your weakness, He is made strong. (2 Cor 12:10)

Encouraging Bible Verses

I speak it over you that you will rest and preserve your energy. Rather than chasing after people who were never meant to be in your story, you will instead invest your energy delighting in God (Psalm 37:4) and loving Him with all your heart, soul, and mind. (Matthew 22:37)

I pray you will seek God’s direction. He will happily and lovingly show you the way you should go. (Psalm 32:8)

I pray you will continually practice being ‘still’ and just ‘knowing’ deep in your soul that He is GOD. (Psalm 46:10)

Encouraging Bible Verses

I pray you will never stop believing that your Heavenly Daddy has good plans for you. (Jeremiah 29:11)

I pray you will run with endurance the race God has set before you, while all of Heaven cheers you on. I ask the Holy Spirit to help you to throw off every weight that hinders you and slows you down. (Hebrews 12:1)

I pray you will not run aimlessly. (1 Corinthians 9:26) But with purpose and intentionality. 

I pray you will run in such a way as to take hold of the prize. (1 Corinthians 9:24) Not to compete with anyone else but to be the girl that God created you to be. You are running your race for a crown that will never perish. (1 Corinthians 9:25)

Girlfriend, you are beautiful and treasured. You are blessed and highly favored! I hope you will discover how God sees you, and you will ‘be’ that girl in 2019! ❤ Click To Tweet

Right now, I declare God’s promises over you.

You may have survived 2018. But you will THRIVE in 2019!

Encouraging Bible Verses for you …


“and provide for those who grieve in Zion– to bestow on them a crown of beauty

perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about
my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for
Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in
persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
