Hey friends.
SPEAKER_00:Hey, how's everybody doing?
Carlie K.:We are so excited that you have chosen to spend time with us right now to pray.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
Carlie K.:One of the things that we're praising God for is the start of a new year. And while you know that a new year doesn't mean that's the only time you can change or have new beginnings, there is something very beautiful about the season of newness when January 1st comes. We just come off of the cusp of celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01:Yes.
Carlie K.:Coming out of the season of Advent, and it's just such a beautiful turning of the seasons in many places. So, more than anything, we are going to be praying today for wisdom in every area of your lives. We're going to be thanking God for wisdom, increased understanding in 2022 and beyond.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
Carlie K.:And again, thank you so much for coming to pray with us.
SPEAKER_00:Father God, we just come before you. We pray for wisdom. Help us to increase our faith.
SPEAKER_01:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:God, in 2021, we thank you for what you have done. But God, we ask for wisdom and faith. And for 2022, we are so hungry for you, God. We need you, Father God. We need your wisdom. Help us to build ourselves in you. Yes, Father. God, we thirst and hunger after your righteousness. Yes, Lord. So we thank you, God, for 2022, for you giving us the wisdom to increase our faith, to speak your word boldly.
Carlie K.:Yes, God.
SPEAKER_00:And to conquer the giants that is set before us.
Carlie K.:Yes, Lord.
SPEAKER_00:And God, I thank you for this in Jesus' name.
Carlie K.:Yes, Lord. We just thank you for the wisdom that we need. What areas do we are being hindered in, God? What obstacles is the enemy setting before us? We need that wisdom, God. Yes. In order to move beyond these places that some of us are just stuck. I pray, Father God, in the name of Jesus, thanking you that your word says that any man who lacks wisdom to come to you and ask, and you will, without finding fault, give to us liberally.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
Carlie K.:You will not withhold your wisdom from us, God. And we're so grateful for this truth. So, God, I thank you for wisdom in the area of increasing our spiritual life, our spiritual understanding, our spiritual fortitude, God, that we are building our house upon the rock.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
Carlie K.:I thank you, Father God, for wisdom for marriages everywhere. I thank you, God, that your word says that two are better than one. Yes. For those of us that have said I do, for those out there who are single but desire to be married, I thank you, God, that you have given us special wisdom about what it means to be in covenant with you, but also what it means to be in covenant with another person who glorifies your name.
SPEAKER_01:Hallelujah.
Carlie K.:I pray, God, for wisdom for those out there who are hurting and suffering in their marriages, God.
SPEAKER_01:Yes.
Carlie K.:Whether they're hurting and suffering for your name's sake or whether they're hurting and suffering at the hand of another. I pray for wisdom for them, for divine protection to be released upon them. Yes. In the name of Jesus. I pray, God, thanking you for marriages everywhere, coming to understand the truth of your word. Yes. That says that we love when we can only love because you first loved us. Hallelujah. We thank you, God, that not only have you loved us, but you've activated a love within us.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
Carlie K.:That we can love each other as husband and wife in Jesus' mighty name.
SPEAKER_00:Father God, we pray for wisdom for our families.
Carlie K.:Yes, Lord.
SPEAKER_00:God help us to operate as a unit.
Carlie K.:Yes, Lord.
SPEAKER_00:Where the focus is you.
unknown:Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00:Regardless of what we've gone through in 2021, God, we thank you for your wisdom to increase our knowledge, our hunger, our thirst for you as a family. That we come together, that we speak boldly your word. Thank you, Jesus. That we we minister to one another. We're not divided. Thank you. But we operate as a unit in love, hungry for you. Thank you, God. We want more of you as a family in 2022.
Carlie K.:Yes, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00:Holy Spirit, we ask that you will continually fill us, guide us, help us to speak your word, help us to walk in love, help us to whatever things we're going through, help us to have that discernment as a family unit, to minister to one another, to be there for one another, to proclaim your word. Help us, Father God, to continually walk in you. And I ask this in Jesus' name.
Carlie K.:I pray, God, wisdom for families everywhere, that the spirit of wisdom would rest upon every family that is listening to this prayer.
SPEAKER_01:Yes.
Carlie K.:I thank you, God, that your spirit of wisdom is resting upon your people. And I thank you, God, that you are giving mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers and grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and nieces the wisdom that they need.
SPEAKER_01:Yes.
Carlie K.:To be the very best that they can be in their family. I pray, God, for wisdom for increased opportunities for healing within families. Yes. I pray, God, for increased opportunities for your gospel to be made known and declared to family members who are not yet walking with you.
SPEAKER_01:Yes.
Carlie K.:I decree and declare in the name of Jesus that the promise of household salvation will rest upon the families of this world. Yes. Because we have said it, because it is your word and because it is true. Right now, also, Father God, I pray for wisdom for health.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, Father.
Carlie K.:There are many people out there, Father, who are facing health crises. There are many people out there who are suffering at the hand of the enemy's lies. Whether it's mental health, physical health, or spiritual health. I thank you that your wisdom is supreme. Yes. That your wisdom answers all. Your word answers all. Yes. Your spirit answers all. I pray in the name of Jesus that your spirit would fall fresh. The spirit of wisdom would be on the earth in a way, released in a way like never before. I thank you, Father God, that health is increasing.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
Carlie K.:It is increasing the name of Jesus.

SPEAKER_00:God, in 2022, God, we thank you for your wisdom to increase finances. We thank you, Father God, for all the things that we have gone through in 2021. But God, we thank you that you're the God of increase. You're the God of more than enough. You're Jehovah Jarrah. You're Jehovah Al-Shaddai.

Thank you that 2022 is the land of more than enough, a year that we will never forget. We thank you, God, for favor. We thank you for wisdom. We thank you that you're here.

We thank you, God, for you giving us the confidence, the skill set, thank you, Jesus, the faith, the health that we need that is only found in you, Jesus.
Carlie K.:Thank you, Lord.
SPEAKER_00:And we ask this in Jesus' name.
Carlie K.:God, I just thank you for wisdom for people to come out of debt.

Carlie K.:Debt has been keeping your people captive for far too long. Too many generations have been in debt. God, we thank you that there is an escape. There is freedom. There are freedom in finances. There is an escape that you have made a way of escape for every family out there. Yes. I don't care what your financial situation is today. I decree and declare in the name of Jesus that wisdom is being released right now divinely upon your life to give you the understanding that you need to get one step closer to the breakthrough that's going to take you all the way through to being debt-free. To owe no man anything except to love them. Imagine your life like that, saints. Imagine yourself like that, married couple. Imagine yourself free from the bondage of this world.

Because if you will, I'm here to decree and declare and tell you in the name of Jesus that you shall have all these things and more in 2022 and beyond. God, we just thank you for the honor, the privilege, the absolute blessing it is to be able to love you back. Yes. Thank you for loving us first. So we could release this love right back to you.
SPEAKER_01:Hallelujah.
Carlie K.:Continually remind us, Father, that the gifts that you give, the good gifts that you give, yes, they're to be held close and dear to our hearts, but not to be held tight-fisted in our hands. We are to release these gifts of love, of wisdom, of prosperity and finances, of prosperity in mind, body, spirit. Yes. Back out to your people. There are people out there who need to be reached, they need to be saved. Give us the wisdom to fulfill the Great Commission. Help us to go into all the world and make disciples in your name.
