6 Things to Embrace In 2026 -

Every new year is a gift from God, and a chance to do things differently. 2026 is not asking for resolutions. It is asking for reorientation.

So, take a deep breath and start again, do things differently. Embrace God’s guidance and embrace the right things.

Starting again with God does not mean going back to square one. It does mean a second attempt – but better postured and better equipped for success.

Today, I share with you 6 things you can embrace in 2026 that will set your year apart.

1- Embrace A Faith that Moves, Not Just Believes

Often, we mistake the power of faith for its size. Yet even the smallest faith moves mountains. The only powerless faith is one that refuses to show up in real life.

This year,

Embrace faith that shows up in your habits.

Embrace faith that shows up in your life decisions.

Let your faith show up in generosity, courage, forgiveness, love and hope.

Let your faith leave behind prints.

Faith is meant to be practiced, lived, felt, and tested.

Belief alone isn’t the goal, embodied faith is.

So, this year, let your faith move mountains.

Let your faith move, serve, forgive, and risk.

2- Embrace Rest as a Form of Trust

Burnout is not a badge of honor, it strangles hope. 

This new year, embrace rest, but not just as an escape, but as trust.

Rest is trust.

Trust in the God who created rest and calls for stillness.

Rest is faith.

Faith in believing that your world won’t collapse if you pause.

Rest is humility.

Humility in the knowledge that you are not the glue that holds your life together, God is.

So, trust and rest.

3- Embrace Presence in a Distracted World

One of the greatest promises Christ gave His own, “I will be with you till the ends of the world.”

Presence is a gift, perhaps the most valuable or precious you can give loved one today.

Yet, it is the most stolen commodity gift.

In 2026, embrace being fully where you are, be where your feet are planted.

In 2026,

Listen without scrolling

Be present without performing

Show up without multitasking.

4- Embrace Depth Over Speed

Multi-tasking had its moments.

We measure success by the number of followers, likes, and engagements on social media.

We make friends but keep zero deep connections

In doing a lot, we do so little.

Speed impresses, but depth transforms. This year, embrace doing less. Rather, Go deeper

Deep relationships.

Deep faith.

Deep work.

Deep thinking.

5- Embrace A Clear Sense of Purpose

He who has a why can bear anyhow.

We wake up each day, give each new day another try regardless of what you went through the previous day.

We complain about how hard life sometimes is, yet we keep at what …

A clear sense of purpose can increase endurance threshold.

In the new year, you don’t need a five-year plan, but you do need to know why you are doing what you are doing.

Beyond that,  

6- Embrace Gratitude 

You went through a lot in the previous year

But you came through it

It’s why you are still here

For that you need to be thankful 

I am speaking of intentional gratitude 

We trust, hope and pray that in 2026, we will lie in green pastures and walk by quiet water. Yet, even if we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, God walks with us. 

Conclusion 

2026 doesn’t need a newer, shinier version of you.
It needs a truer one—rooted in Christ, attentive to purpose, unafraid of growth, and willing to rest in God’s sovereignty.

Move forward slowly.
Live deeply.
Trust God boldly.

Grace and peace as you step into the year ahead.
