Lord, you have been so faithful to us over the last year and all of the years of our lives – and we stand ready now, by your grace, to look into yet another new year, if it be your will. So, with joy in our hearts and peace in our souls we prepare to launch into a new year putting our hands into your hand – for we know as we hold to you – even more so you are holding us and guarding us and keeping us. It is our prayer and plea that in the coming days and weeks and this new year that I / we could each be better servants, more committed followers, and more loving members of the Body of Christ. May this coming year be one where we are truly ‘all in’ for Jesus in our thoughts, words and deeds. Amen
