2026: The Year of the Treasure. We are trading sackcloth for Glory. We are trading worry for Worship. We are trading the “Pharaoh heart” for the “Heart of Wisdom.” Join us as we pray the “Trash to Treasure” and ashes to beauty prayer today. Let the River of Rivers wash your spirit clean for the march ahead!

Let’s Pray

Adoration: O Father, God of all nations and the entire universe! Your Majesty is excellent in all the earth. We gather ourselves at Your feet, before Your temple at the throne of grace, acknowledging that You alone are holy.

Repentance (The Heart Check): Lord, we come in spirit with sackcloth and ashes. We confess that though You have washed our tears and pardoned our shame, we have often turned away. We repent for hardening our hearts like Pharaoh and for failing to desire Your will above our own. Who else can we turn to? You alone are our Father; You alone are our Judge. Speak Your Word, which is greater than the world, and make us clean.

Reception of the New Year: As we stand at the threshold of this New Year, let it begin with Your salvation—the same covenant promise You kept with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Wash us in the River of rivers, that our iniquities may be remembered no more.

The Prophetic Declaration: I receive Your Word today: That You have picked me up from the dust and molded me into a treasure. You have called me out of darkness into Your marvelous light. You have burned away my past and fashioned my heart in wisdom. I am free, I am clean, and I am adorned with Your glory forever.

Closing: Let it be so, O LORD, according to Your goodwill and Your Word alone. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. AMEN!

Reflection:

Use these points to guide your meditation during your quiet time or group sessions.

1. Breaking the “Pharaoh Heart”

• Focus: Identify areas of stubbornness. Where have you said “no” to God in 2025?
• Action: Ask the Holy Spirit to soften your heart so that you no longer resist His leadings in 2026.

2. The Word vs. The World

• Focus: The prayer says, “Your word is greater than the world.” * Action: Take one specific “worldy” worry (finances, health, status) and declare a “Kingdom Word” over it. Let the Word speak louder than the circumstance.

3. The Identity Shift (Trash to Treasure)

• Focus: Contemplate the image of being “molded” from what was once discarded.
• Action: Reject any labels of “shame” or “dirt” from your past. Intentionally see yourself as the ”Treasure” God has fashioned, and instead of your ashes He has covered you with the glory of His beauty and honor (Isaiah 61:3:27).

4. The River of Rivers

Action: Visualize your transgressions being poured into the “River of rivers.” If God chooses not to remember them, you must choose to stop revisiting them. Walk into January 1st completely unburdened.

Focus: Total oblivion of sin.

2. The Verse of Identity (The Marvelous Light)
