Covered By Grace in 2026

Happy New Year! 

As we step into a new year, take a moment to breathe in God’s goodness. Last year held victories, losses, lessons, and unexpected turns and yet through it all, God’s grace and mercy covered you. 

You are here because God kept you, strengthened you, and carried you.

Scripture reminds us to “rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18). 

Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything was perfect; it’s about recognizing that God was present in every moment. What can you thank Him for today? What did He teach you, protect you from, or grow within you?

As you enter this new year, release what tried to hold you back. God speaks clearly: “Forget the former things… See, I am doing a new thing!” (Isaiah 43:18–19). 

There is something ahead of you that requires your focus, your faith, and your willingness to move forward.

You are not stepping into the unknown alone. God has already prepared the path. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord… (Jeremiah 29:11). His plans are intentional, hopeful, and filled with purpose.

But to walk in what God has for you, you must stay connected to Him. “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). Make space for prayer. Open your Bible with expectation. Worship with a heart ready to receive. God is not distant — He is waiting to meet you.

This year, may you walk boldly, love deeply, trust fully, and seek God intentionally. He has something for you and it begins with drawing near.
