Lord, I offer You my everyday life — my routines, my work, my habits — as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to You. Help me fix my attention on You so I may be transformed from the inside out by Your Truth and grace. Renew my mind daily, and align my heart with Your will, even in the smallest decisions. When I stumble back into comfort or forget my commitments, gently draw me near again. This year, may my life be a continuous offering, shaped by Your Spirit and lived for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
