Year of Great Rewards
Theme: ENTERING THE YEAR WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS; RIGHT EXPECTATIONS, RIGHT OUTCOMES
*đź“–Scripture Focus:*
> “For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.”
— Proverbs 23:18 (Kjv)

*🪞REFLECTION*
Every year is neutral until it meets expectation. What you genuinely expect, you consciously prepare for—and what you prepare for, you position yourself to receive. God is faithful, but expectations must be rightly aligned. When expectations are shaped by fear, pain, or past disappointments, outcomes suffer. But when expectations are rooted in God’s Word, His nature, and His promises, outcomes are divinely guaranteed.
This year will not answer to yesterday’s failures, but to today’s faith. God does not disappoint those who expect according to His Will. As you step into this year, God is counseling you to reset your inner vision. Refuse to lower your expectations to the level of your experiences. Elevate them to the level of God’s promises—because right expectations always produce right outcomes.

*I DECREE and DECLARE:*
*🙏OPENING PRAYER:*
Our Dear Heavenly Father and our God,
We come before You with reverence, gratitude, and faith. Thank You for the gift of a new year and the privilege to enter it alive, preserved, and hopeful. As we step into this moment of praying the Scriptures, we ask that Your Spirit open our hearts and align our minds with Your eternal truth.
Let every distraction fade, and let Your Word take center stage. Heal where discouragement has lingered, restore where hope has weakened, and enlighten our understanding concerning expectations. As we look into Your Word, reprogram our thinking, renew our confidence, and recalibrate our expectations to match Your promises.
We declare that this year shall not be governed by fear, regret, or past failures. We receive grace to expect rightly and to walk wisely. Let this devotional encounter set the spiritual tone for our journey in this Year of Great Rewards.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.
🙏Prayer 1: *PRAYER FOR EXPECTATION ALIGNED WITH GOD’S WILL*
Father, in the Name of Jesus,
I consciously surrender my expectations for this year to You. I refuse to build my hope on past failures, human limitations, or previous disappointments. By Your Spirit, realign my expectations with Your Word, Your Will, and Your eternal purposes for my life.
Let my heart expect what You have promised, not what I have experienced. Where fear has shaped my outlook, uproot it. Where doubt has lowered my expectations, restore my confidence. I declare that my expectations this year are sanctified, enlightened, and empowered by Your truth.
According to Your Word, my expectation shall not be cut off. I step into this year with divine clarity, holy anticipation, and unshakable hope.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

🙏Prayer 2: *PRAYER FOR FAITH-FILLED EXPECTATIONS THAT PRODUCE GREAT REWARDS*
Lord my God,
I choose to expect greatly because I serve a great God. I reject small thinking, limited visions, and defeated assumptions. Let my expectations provoke faith, obedience, and spiritual discipline in my daily walk.
As I expect rightly, let my actions align wisely. As I look forward with hope, let my hands remain diligent and my spirit remain sensitive. I declare that this year will respond positively to my faith-filled expectations.
By Your promise, I will see the end You have ordained for me—an end of peace, progress, and great rewards. My expectations will attract divine opportunities, favor, and timely interventions.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

🙏Prayer 3: *PRAYER AGAINST DISAPPOINTMENT AND FOR FULFILLED EXPECTATIONS*
Faithful God,
I receive Your counsel and I take hold of Your assurance. I decree that disappointment will not define my journey this year. My expectations are preserved, protected, and fulfilled by Your power.
Every good thing I expect in alignment with Your Word shall come to pass at the appointed time. I will not give up too early, nor will I settle too low. I trust Your timing, I submit to Your process, and I rejoice in Your faithfulness.
This year, I walk confidently toward the future You have prepared for me. My expectation stands secure, and my reward is guaranteed.
For surely there is an end, and my expectation shall not be cut off.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
