Happy New Year, Believers!!!! I'm praying that all who read this message have a blessed year. Our journeys on this Earth have been written by You, oh Lord. We know that You have allowed Your angels and our ancestors to watch over and protect us. You are an all-knowing and all-seeing God. You know our hearts' desires, but God, please let Your will be done in our lives. We only have a finite time here on Earth, so Lord let the next chapter of our lives be filled with joy, a joy that the world can't give or take away. Grant us a heart that will help those in need. Place people in our lives that will help us grow as Believers. Help us to use every opportunity to praise You, not only when things are going well, but when our hearts are troubled. Let not the circumstances in our lives discourage us from our ultimate purpose here on Earth. Lord, allow doors to be open in Your name and for Your glorification and close doors that do not mean us any good. Protect us, oh Lord, from our enemies and deliver us from evil. Lord, grant us patience, comfort, and love so that we may serve Your people, thereby, serving You. Most of all love, love for those who love us and love for those who do not. Provide opportunities for us to be kind, caring, loving, and generous. Thank You, oh Lord, for providing for us. You are our source. Please continue to bless us with resources to help us pay bills and live comfortably. Those who are in financial crises, please, as You always do, continue to provide for us. Lord, thank You for the evil and danger You have protected us from. Please continue to cover and protect us as we continue on this journey called life. Grant peace to those who have lost loved ones. Comfort them and let them know that their loved ones are safe and they will one day see them again. Allow us to be grateful and praise You without ceasing. We love you, Lord. Thank You for continuously showing us that we are Your children. Amen
