As we welcome in the New Year, I look back at 2008 and can’t help but just praise God for the wonderful blessings that He has bestowed upon me this past year. It was truly one of my best years as I was blessed with restored health, restored vision, wonderful new relationships, repaired broken relationships, a new church to call home, a new home to live in, a better job location and not one vacation of a lifetime, but two! All of which, in humanistic thinking, should never have been possible but as we all know, with God, all things are possible.
In these times of a troubled economy and a broken world, we may seem to be a little anxious about what 2009 will bring. For 2009, It is my prayer that God will continue to bless my family, friends and myself. For Him to hold us all in the palm of His hands protecting us and providing for our every need. That we always remember to praise Him not only for our blessings but also for our trials.
I am also praying that 2009 will not only bring a New Year number for us, but also a new and even deeper faith to trust in Him and rely on Him completely, a renewed and closer walk with Him, a new and greater spiritual insight to deal with trials that may come our way and a year filled with new adventures, new opportunities and new friendships. I pray that He helps us to look forward to the New Year with confidence, courage and humility. To help us look beyond what we can see with our eyes or what we can conceive in our minds to the greater future that He has perfectly planned for us.
