Heavenly Father, thank you for extending my days so that I could be here today with these others who love you and reverence your Holy name.

We welcome this New Year not knowing what lies ahead, but you know. You know the end from the beginning.

We do know that there will be sad days and happy days. There will be blessings and lessons because that is the way things are.

But our Trust and Hope are in you, for you will never leave or forsake us.

Thank you for your Love and protection and for showing us glimpses of your glory in the amazing and spectacular sunrises and the canopy of stars overhead at night.

Thank you for always acknowledging our spoken words and unspoken thoughts. May they be pleasing to you always.

In Jesus Name, Amen.
