He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

Let us pray: Almighty God in heaven, Your timing is perfect and Your plans are always the best. May the year 2017 bring us bigger opportunities to become better people. Inspire us Lord to become lovers of peace, agents of love, and protectors of the truth. May the fruits of your Holy Spirit be evident in our lives. Grant this world Your faithfulness, love, joy, peace, compassion, forgiveness, patience, gentleness, justice and hope. These we pray in Jesus name, Amen.
