But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. (Is 40:31)
Dear
Lord I thank you for another year
for
the lessons I have learned
and
the gift of Your undeserved grace
When
life was too hard to face
You
held me altogether
And
kept me in the palm of your hand
Dear
Lord I thank you for my health
That
though it might not be perfect
You kept it from getting worse.
I
know I’m not the easiest to help
Forgive
me please for my stubbornness
Lord,
I pray that 2018 will be a year
That
I turn away from fear
I
turn away from doubt
I
turn away from my own understandings
And
turn towards you
Dear
Lord I thank you for the people
in
my life you chose to keep
And
for those you added
A
blessing they became
Lord,
I pray for all my friends
That
do not yet know the love you have to give
Will
turn to you and see all that you will forgive
Lord,
I pray for strength and courage
Wisdom
and wellness for everyone I know
I
pray your will be done here and around the world
Lord,
May you guide our leaders in
Municipal,
provincial, national and world governments
In
all the decisions to be made to help our world
So
we can be a people you will be pleased with
Lord,
I pray for all people, that they turn from themselves
Reach
out to their neighbors and remember the Love of Christ
That
is in us all.
We’ve
somehow shut it out
now let 2018 be the year that we open all our hearts
now let 2018 be the year that we open all our hearts
May
the Love of Christ shine through each soul upon this Earth
And
Lord, May your church be heard loud and clear
Not
just on Sundays but every day.
In
Jesus Name I ask your blessing on the world In 2018.
