I have grand desires for 2025, Lord. More peace, more joy, more time, more …
There are other things … You know my heart and my mind. Give me the courage to say them out loud to you. It’s silly. I keep them hidden, sometimes hidden from myself. But nothing can be hidden from You. As my Good Father, You simply want me to come to you with them.
It’s not about condemning or even controlling. It’s about trust. You want me to trust You with them. To know that You care, to know that You see me and all that I am. I am Your beloved child, and You see me beautiful and radiant. Thank You Jesus!
You want something for me in 2025. You want me to come closer to You. You want me to spend more time with You, not because You’re wanting to dictate me or my life or because I need to prove something to You (like that I love You or that You are the King of kings, though You are)—but because You love me.
Just like anyone else in my life who loves me, they want to spend time with me. We’re made in Your image. It’s just like any other relationship. Time spent together grows the relationship, bonds us, evolves, matures.
We trust each other more. We work together more. We do life together. That’s what You want for me. You want to bless me. I want to be blessed, Lord.
Holy Spirit, please search my heart. Reveal to me what I truly need. Show me the way to You. And give me the desire to seek You with all my heart.
In the Loving Name of Jesus I pray.
Amen.
