Dear Heavenly Father, You are everywhere, and guide everything. You are in my heart, in my mind and in my world. My certainty of Your existence gives me strength, protection, and joy. Your presence and promise are my comfort. Help me live worthy of Your gifts. Amen.
"Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation."

Most gracious Father, we hear the desperate cries of the poor. They are praying to You, and because You have given us ears to hear, they are calling to us as well. Thank You that our gifts can be used to help and empower our brothers and sisters. We so much desire to be disciples of Jesus, Your son, sent to heal the sick, care for the dying, feed the hungry and in all ways infuse Your love in our lives. Thank You for helping us to help others in Jesus Name. Amen.
"Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me’."
Matthew 25:34-36 (ESV)

Gracious, loving God, we have celebrated the birth of Your Son, our Savior, we have put the past year behind us, now we look with anticipation and excitement to the beginning of a new year. We move forward to do the work that is before us, to follow Your will, to do what is pleasing to You. May the New Year be filled with the love and joy of the Holy Spirit as He continues the work which He has begun in and through us. Help us, heavenly Father, to accomplish all that You have planned for us this year in the name of Your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
