You are surrounded by the goodness and the abundance of God even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.

Many believers in Jesus assume God isn’t interested in being overly, extravagantly good to them. They look at Him from a position of “I won’t ever have everything I need” or “God might bless others, but He isn’t going to bless me.” They think according to pain and lack.

But that mindset doesn’t agree with Scripture. The Bible says God loves being abundantly, joyously good. That is who He is:

The thief approaches with malicious intent, looking to steal, slaughter, and destroy; I came to give life with joy and abundance. (John 10:10 VOICE)

God is bigger and more generous than we expect. That is His heart toward us:

To him who by means of his power working in us is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think of: to God be the glory (Eph. 3:20–21 GNT)

Instead of clinging to old ways of thinking that agree with lack and want, let’s say “yes” to God’s abundance. This is a new year, and He has wonderful things in store for all of us!

He loves you tremendously—more than you realize—and part of His Fatherhood is His desire to give you good gifts that bless you beyond your expectations.

With all that in mind, here are some excellent ways to pray this month: 

• Thank You, Father, for the abundance You are showing me in January (John 10:10).

• Thank You for outdoing my prayers this month (Eph. 3:20–21). 

• Thank You for loving me and drawing me to Yourself this month (Jer. 31:3).

• Thank You for all the love, compassion, and faithfulness You are showing me in January (Ex. 34:6).

• Thank You for pouring out Your grace on me and making me more than sufficient this month (2 Cor. 9:8).

• Thank You for gloriously meeting my needs this month (Phil. 4:19).  

• Thank You for pouring out Your goodness on me this month (Ps. 31:19).

• Thank You for crowning January 2025 with Your abundance (Ps. 65:11).

• Thank You for the wonderful blessings You are giving me this month (Prov. 10:22).

• Thank You for increasing me this month (Ps. 115:14).

What is the Holy Spirit whispering to you about God’s goodness?

Hold the following verse close to your heart, and ask the Holy Spirit to tell you more about it. What does it mean for you personally? What does it mean for your family?

God is ready to overwhelm you with more blessings than you could ever imagine so that you’ll always be taken care of in every way and you’ll have more than enough to share. (2 Cor. 9:8 VOICE) 

May the goodness of God fill your life in wonderful, over-the-top, abundant ways!
