Dear God,
As hard as this year was, we thank you for our distress and our infirmities just as Paul teaches us to do. We thank you that it made us come to the truth that you are the only One in control. That when our whole world was turned upside down in 2020, you were right side up, holding it all together. Thank you for being a faithful God. One that knows the beginning and the end.
Father, we ask for your strength to go into a new year. We ask that we would stay strong by trusting in you and you alone. For โour strength is made perfect in weakness.โ (Verse 9) We have no idea how 2021 will look. In fact, it might look exactly like it did this past year, but Lord we trust that your strength will guide and lead us. That your grace will sufficiently uphold us.
Remind us in moments of doubt to soak ourselves in your Word, for your Word is the โlamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path.โ (Psalm 119:105) It is lit dimly enough to take us from one step to the next. We trust you this day and trust you with 2021.
We commit to โleaning not on our understandingโ (Proverbs 3:5) and strength, but rather trusting in yours.
In Jesusโ Name,
Amen
