Dear Lord,

 

Thank You for seeing us through last year and for blessing us with a brand new year! We realize that it is because of Your powerful hand on our lives and the destiny that You have already set in motion for us that we are here today.

Father, we know that Psalm 91:1 says, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Thank You so much for blessing us with the opportunity to fellowship with you. May we always recognize the privilege of being in Your presence. We are so blessed that You invite us to dwell with You. Father, we embrace Your words because they are always filled with truth and life.

May our wills be properly aligned with Your word and Your way of doing things. Remove any areas that are not pleasing to You. Rescue us from all adverse situations. And please keep a hedge of protection around us and everyone connected to us.

Thank You for loving us so much that You always want what’s best for us. May we continually seek to please You, quickly recognize the new things that You are doing in our lives, and have hearts that express our gratitude to You.

In The Matchless Name of Jesus,

Amen

Reflect And Journal

1) Dear Lord, bring to my remembrance a moment in this past year when I truly felt Your presence surrounding me.

2) How did You use that experience to deepen my faith and shape my hopes for the year ahead?

3) Dear Lord, please reveal to me the areas of my life that need to be brought into greater alignment with Your will.

4) What steps do You want me to take to surrender those places to You?
