Lord, we thank you for the year 2013-you have been our shepherd, you have led us to pastures green, you have set a table before our enemies & you have carried us through- we are forever grateful!
As we reflect back, we had our challenges but you O Lord was loving, caring & faithful enough to carry us through- we are thankful from the bottom of our hearts.
For we understand that challenges will always be there-that's what constitutes life-life comes in many colors, tones &presentations -bit it's not what happens to us; it is our reaction to what happens to us-the attitude we keep in whatever we face & always remembering to cling to the hem of your garment.
For we know that you are our creator & that you have perfect plans for us as promised. So we do not fret or fear, but we stand firm on your promises each single day, walking each & everyday by faith & not by sight!
Renew our strength oh Lord and redirect us always to focus on whet truly matters!
Help us to be positive contributors to this world & leave it a better place.
Let us aim to preach forgiveness & love & help most people understand the very important issues of life -for we know most people are fighting some kind of battle.
Building relationships that are truly meaningful, helping others carry their loads, creating time to listen to others, sacrificing our resources to help the less fortunate!
Remind us O Lord that your report is the most important report & it does not matter what anybody says-what you say is the most important report!
Thank you a Lord for all the doors you have opened for us- for healing us- for renewing our minds.
Where we hurt-you have consoled us & healed us-
In our mourning you turned it into dancing O Faithful one! We are thankful
We never lacked in any way-what we have needed thy hand has provided- you have answered our prayers.
Help us to continue clinging to the hem of your garment O Lord-for that's all we need to pull through
For the hungry, feed them
For the sick, heal them
For the discouraged, encourage
For the needy, provide
For the lonely , may they experience your love
Help us O Lord to scale the heights of 2014 O Lord with confidence-knowing that you have gone before us! When you open doors for us-equip us with the confidence to go through for you have perfect plans for us!
We love you this day & forever!
Happy New Year 2014-The Year of the Lord's favour!
