He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” (Revelation 21:5)

Let us pray: Most gracious and loving Father, thank you for allowing me to walked through the greatest year of my life. It wasn’t perfect but I am incredibly glad and grateful to see that 2016 is finally over. There were definitely ups and downs but I’ve never been happier because I was never alone. You were always with me Lord. And as I embrace 2017, I am filled with excitement and hope for the days that are about to begin. Grant me wisdom Lord to see your plans for me. Grant me courage and patience to deal with all the challenges ahead. And grant me faithfulness oh Lord to always rely on you in whatever I do. Amen.
