The rock band U2 once penned a song called “New Year’s Day.” A snippet of the song says, “Nothing changes, on New Year's Day.” While that may be true to some extent, why not take some time to pray this New Year’s Day for God to change things? If you signed up for a specific time to pray on January 1st, great! But if you didn’t, it’s no big deal! It’s about praying, not about if you signed up. Just pray! For 3 minutes, 30 minutes or 3 hours!
