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.

For This Year’s Blessings

Lord God,
As the year winds down to a close, I look back and thank you for the blessings you’ve granted me throughout the year. I am grateful for the joyful experiences you’ve allowed me to have and for the ways you used challenges and hardships to shape and grow me. You kept your promise to provide for my physical and spiritual needs, and guarded and protected me in countless ways – some of which I am aware, while others I am not. Thank you for never leaving me, for always holding out hope, and for surrounding me with so many people who have made a positive difference in my life. I pray that you have also used me to be that for others. Lead me to set aside time in the remaining days of this year to be mindful of how good you’ve been to me this year.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Your Gift of Time This Past Year

Eternal Father,
Although you created time, you have no beginning and no end. Our lives on earth, however, are governed by time, by beginnings and endings. Today, another year of my life comes to a close. This transition at the close of one year and the start of another provides me with the opportunity to reflect. I look back and consider how I used the 365 days you gave me as a gift this past year. I also look back and see how good you’ve been to me over that same span. 

I am sorry for the many times I treated your gift of time like an endless commodity, wasting it on what is worthless or selfish. I thank you for the times you used me in the past year to be an answer to the prayers of others, to serve those who needed help, and to bless and build up believers. Thank you also for the time many others have committed to helping and serving me over the past year. Look on them with your favor. As this year concludes, I thank you for never leaving me or forsaking me, for guiding me through all troubles, and for faithfully and vigilantly watching over me. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
