<p>As we enter a new year, instead of making resolutions based on our own willpower, we can partner with God to discover His purpose for our lives by naming our year according to His promises. Throughout Scripture, God changed people&#39;s names to match their assignments, giving them identity and direction. When we name our year, we&#39;re not naming what our circumstances currently are, but what God says they can be. This practice involves praying and asking God what He sees for you in the coming year. Just as Jesus called Simon &#39;Peter&#39; (rock) before his transformation, God calls us by our destiny, not our history. Naming your year helps align your heart with God&#39;s purpose and brings rest as you agree with His completed work rather than striving in your own strength.</p>
