As the old year ends and a new year begins, take time to reflect, remember, and pray.Time to reflect on God’s love and goodness toward you throughout the year. Reflect on His mercies that are new every morning. Reflect on His Faithfulness and Favor to you and your family. Time to remember the struggles you faced, and the mistakes you made, and maybe even the loved ones you lost. In every year, you experience heartache, and this one was no different. And in remembering, you find a seed of hope hidden in your yesterdays.Remember how you’ve been blessed. Relive when you found unexpected strength. Recall and reflect where you experienced the Spirit of the Lord at work, and you knew His mercy kept you going all this time. As you recognize His mercy, ask for His peace. The peace that pours out every moment of every day from the wounds of Christ.
Thank you, God, for your many Blessings over this year! Prepare us Lord for the New Year. Lift us up and place in our hearts, a renewed desire to know and worship you more. Give us your abundant grace and shower us with your healing love. May your eternal Kingdom reign in our hearts and our lives. May the New Year show us once again your eternal mercy and glory. And let us give you praise with great joy. In Jesus name, Amen.
On behalf of myself, Lady J, and members, wishing everyone a wonderful, blessed, holy and happy New Year!
Love Always and Choice Blessings to you!
