To incorporate these Christian practices into your life you have to set them as your New Year resolutions or life goals.
To do this follow these goal setting steps:
1. Identify your goal
The first step of setting New Year resolutions and other life goals is identifying what you want to achieve.
For example you can decide that you want to pray every day and read your Bible every day.
2. Create a good goal
The second step of setting New Year resolutions and other life goals is modifying the goals to make them good goals.
A good goal defines the Amount you want to achieve, how Long it will take you to achieve it and How you will get it.
Therefore you can modify your Christian New Year goals to: I will pray every day for 15 minutes and read 1 chapter of the Bible every day by waking up 1 hour earlier each morning.
