As the new year approaches, you can start fresh with your faith. You can renew your perspective as a Christian through God’s guidance and support from your church, creating thoughtful resolutions to define your year. Here are some Christian New Year’s resolution ideas to get you started. 

What New Year’s Resolutions Should Christians Make?

1. Make Time for Prayer

When life gets busy, it can be hard to pause and pray. While you certainly do this at church every week, making time for quiet prayer allows you to express your personal gratitude and ask God for guidance. So, you might consider making frequent prayer one of your New Year’s resolutions. Try setting a specific goal, like praying every day before bed, to help you measure your progress. 

2. Read Your Bible

This resolution may seem simple, but the foundational act of reading your bible regularly can transform your life as a Christian. Try making time in the morning or evening to read a few verses. You can journal your thoughts as well. If you need a bit more structure to stick with this resolution, consider joining a bible study group.

3. Volunteer Your Time 

One of the best ways to get involved in your community as a Christian is to volunteer. Whether serving meals at a soup kitchen or helping at your church’s youth group, you can spread kindness in the new year with this type of work. As your friends and family see you lending your time to others, they may be inspired to join you.

4. Take on a Leadership Role

If you’ve been a member of your church for years, you might be ready to take the next step in your involvement. The new year is a fantastic time to seek a leadership role. You can run a bible study, mentor teens, or run other types of fellowship groups. In this role, you can find fulfillment and make an impact on others in your church community.
