Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of Crimolani, who is filled with gratitude for the year 2023. We thank you, Lord, for the lessons learned and the redemption experienced throughout this year. We acknowledge your faithfulness and love that has sustained us.
Lord, as we approach the year 2024, we humbly ask that you continue to be with us. May your presence be our constant companion, guiding us in every step we take. Fill our hearts with your love, Lord, so that we may welcome the new year with joy and anticipation of what you have in store for us.
We pray for an abundance of grace, wisdom, and discernment as we navigate the days ahead. Help us to grow in knowledge and understanding of your ways, so that we may make choices that align with your will. May our love for you and for others abound more and more, reflecting your character and bringing glory to your name.
Lord, we surrender ourselves to you, acknowledging our unworthiness and our need for your forgiveness and mercy. We ask for your forgiveness for our sins and shortcomings, and we pray that you would cleanse us and make us new. Help us to live blamelessly and without offense, shining as lights in the midst of a world that desperately needs your love and truth.
We pray for the Church, your beloved bride, that you would pour out your abundant grace upon her. Strengthen her in times of temptation and trial, and let nothing be too hard for her. May all things work together for her good, and may she continue to be a beacon of hope and salvation in a crooked and perverse world.
In Jesus' name, we pray, amen.
