Thank you for the faith you have placed within each of us when we know you as Lord and Savior. Thank you for Holy Spirit whose witness within us guides us to all righteousness, when we have spiritual ears to listen and soft hearts to follow. Thank you that you who have begun a good work within us will be faithful to complete it - whether that is within individual believers, your Church as a whole, and/or our nation and world. Thank you for the confidence we can have that your plans for us and the future are good - plans for peace and hope, not disaster and misery. Thank you that even when our circumstances are rough, your Word is true and your heart toward us is merciful and just. On this quiet, maybe even reflective, first day of 2021, help us to remember and look forward to the future with hope because of your faithfulness. Help us to know that, whatever comes our way, you can use it for your good and your glory. But help us to remember that you have called us, your children, to pray and intercede for your Kingdom purposes. Let us not grow weary in prayer, but persevere to help your Kingdom come as we declare that your will WILL be done. In Christ's name and for his glory we pray, Amen.
