I ask God to give me a verse for this year; a theme so to speak from Him. The following verses are what I feel like He gave me.
"For I know the plans I have for you , declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will by found by you, declares the Lord . . ." Jeremiah 29:11-14a
God, first brought this verse to my attention back in November, I feel like God is really speaking to me and encouraging me through this verse and as I continue on my journey with Him I will stand upon this verse.
The next verses I feel He gave me is more my hope, my request to Him.
"Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me." Psalm 51:1-3
"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Psalm 51: 10-12
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." Psalm 51:17
