Precious Father….
How quickly the years have flown by…one year morphing into another, seemingly in the blink of an eye, yet I know that YOU have been leading me step-by-step through each and every day. We’ve walked hand-in-hand along this sometimes-tedious life-path, together. Surely, You demonstrate Your complete and holy love for me… for All of us … every single day. Open our eyes, Lord, so we may clearly see and experience the Wonders and Joy of this amazing world and life that You have created… just for us! For your goodness and mercy, Father, I give you my thanks … what a completely inadequate word that is… Better, I give you my life, my heart and soul! Open my heart to receive Your blessings! Blanket us all with your unconditional love and grace… forever and always! I don’t want to live a day without You! Father, please continue to guide and direct me along this life-path. Please pick me up when I stumble and fall… and when I cause your eyes to water in disappointment because of wrongful thoughts, words, or actions, I ask for your forgiveness, guidance and deliverance from those earthly temptations. I give you All glory and praise for your Redemptive Salvation, Lord! No matter what happens now and forward, it gives me great comfort to know You are here with me always… leading, watching, nudging, and encouraging me. You are my Heart and I love You! Truly, I anticipate the years ahead… continually holding your hand, Father. Come what may in 2024 and beyond…… You are and always will be My God and I am and forever will be your child! In Jesus’ name I pray………Amen.
