It Will Be GLORIOUS!

Happy New Year–2021! I woke up this morning with the strong impression that this coming year is going to be–GLORIOUS. Isn’t that a neat word to have pop into your head first thing on the first day of a new year? Last year’s word was UNPRECEDENTED. Frankly, I don’t care if I ever hear that word again, although I did journal of our adventures returning from Arizona last spring when there was such uncertainty and confusion in the world. I titled that travelogue “Unprecedented” because that’s all we were hearing back then. But now I swap that oppressive word with the thrill and expectation of what I believe will be a much better and truly glorious year.

Prayer for Blessings in the Year Ahead

Father, Thank you for your great love and blessing over our lives. Thank you that your favor has no end, but it lasts for our entire lifetime. Forgive us for sometimes forgetting that you are intimately acquainted with all of our ways, that you know what concerns us, and you cover us as with a shield. We ask that we would walk in your blessing and goodness today. That your face would shine on us. That you would open the right doors for our lives and for our loved ones, that you would close the wrong doors and protect us from those we need to walk away from. Establish the work of our hands and bring to fulfillment all that you have given us to do in these days. We pray that you would make our way purposeful and our footsteps firm out of your goodness and love. Give us a heart of wisdom to hear your voice, and make us strong by your huge favor and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen. (Prayer from this wonderful site!)
