Lord, I confess how often I return to old habits, relying on my own strength and knowledge, only to come up empty. Thank You for gently reminding me that success comes not from striving harder but from listening to Your voice. Teach me to pause, seek You first, and trust Your direction even when it feels unfamiliar. Help me to obey even when I don’t understand and to believe You are at work in every detail. This year, may I cast my nets only at Your command, trusting You to bring the abundance (John 21:6). In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
