For Another Year of Your Goodness
Gracious Lord,
On this last day of the year, I thank you for your providence and protection all year long. Whatever worries or fears I faced this year, you guided me to overcome them. You delivered me through hardships and challenges every time in one way or another. You also blessed me with joyful memories and treasured experiences. I am surrounded by those who love and care about me – so much so that they are even willing to correct and rebuke me when necessary. You kept me in the faith by the power of your Word, and granted me countless opportunities to exercise that faith in meaningful ways. You showed me new facets of your grace and forgiveness that left me awestruck time and again. You showed me yet again just how truly good you are. Ultimately, after another year, I am so grateful that I am still yours. Keep me yours forever.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
