NEW YEARS DAY ~ THE FIRST
Father God,
this day marks the beginning of a brand new year. I pause to offer sincere and abundant thanksgivings for every blessing and trial of the past.
Thank You for Your Presence that has guided me.
Thank You for every answered prayer, for every “Yes” and every “No” and every “Wait.” I respond with a trusting “Amen” to Your sovereign Will.
Please grant me greater wisdom regarding the boundaries of time and purpose that You have placed upon my life.
I want to make the most of every opportunity, making decisions that will honor You and have eternal significance.
I want to love You more enthusiastically and become more faithful in my attention to our relationship. I want to know You better with each passing moment.
I want to become more faithful in my service to You for the expansion of Your Kingdom. I want to plant seeds that will cause multitudes to fall deeply in love with You.
I want to see You glorified and honored by the peoples of all nations.
I want my heart to be distanced from the things of earth, recognizing all provision as both a blessing and a tool by which I may serve You and those around me.
Happy New Year, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I look and labor hard for the day when time will not be marked as we worship without distraction in Your awesome and magnificent Presence…
