Dear God, It is a new
year on this earth. I want to begin the year with praise and thankfulness to
you. I want to recommit myself to you; to do your good will; to follow your
word and the guidance of your Holy Spirit. I want to draw closer to you in
word, thought, and deed. I want to have an attitude of gratitude, a smile on my
face and in my voice, and energy to do whatever task or ministry you want me to
do. Please continue to provide my every need, as only you can do. Please bless
me that I may be a blessing to others. Please give me wisdom,
knowledge, desire, and power to go forth and live for you to make a difference
in the lives of those around me and to glorify you. Please bless my coming and
my going and open my mouth to speak words of truth and love. Thank you, God.
In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
