FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT

Please hear me now.

I thank you for your blessing in this last year. You have healed friends, You have kept disastor from wiping everything out. You have kept us from having any weopen of mass destruction released. You have forgiven our sins. You have provided your presence. You have been faithful to all your promises. Thank you for being a firm foundation.

Thank you for the opportunity to share your gospel. Thank you for those who for the first time said yes to your grace. Thank you for giving opportunity to give a reason for the hope that is in us. Thank you for allowing us to help the poor. You have granted us the privilgege to serve. How honored we are to be your people and servants.

Lord, help us to overcome our doubts. Comfort us where those we loved have died. Help us as we face problems that make no sense to us and which are not being solved. Give us faith in the middle of our struggles. Keep us from despair.

Open the doors this year for us to love. Help us to learn to love you more. Help us learn to express your love more. Make of us a people of love.

Great and Eternal One

Use this new year for your glory and for our good

Remember us in Messiah Jesus
