As a Bible college student, I’ve come to treasure the power and privilege of prayer, especially when starting something new — like a fresh month. Each new month offers us an opportunity to realign our hearts with God’s perfect will, to surrender our plans at His feet, and to approach the future with faith rather than fear. Our prayers shape the way we perceive challenges and victories, reminding us that God’s mercies are new every morning, just as Lamentations 3:23 so beautifully reminds us.
In my own walk with Christ, I’ve found that intentional prayer at the start of the month sets the spiritual tone for everything that follows — our decisions, relationships, and even unexpected trials. That’s why I’ve prepared these 25 powerful new month prayer points, each grounded in Scripture, to help strengthen your faith and draw you into deeper fellowship with God.
