Gratitude and Worship 

Dear Lord, 

As we embark on the start of another new year, I am filled with gratitude and praise for Your limitless grace and unwavering love. 

I thank You from the bottom of my heart for all the blessings of the past year, both the moments of pure joy and the trials, which both draw us closer to you. Thank You for continually walking with us in every season and for filling us with Your strength when we often felt weak. At times when I wasn’t sure how things were going to work out, You made a way and filled me with hope. Thank You for reminding us to be thankful always, even when it’s not easy.  

God, thank You for the many gifts You give: the gift of Your Son, for Your Word, for growth through adversity and discomfort, for presenting us with many opportunities to love and serve others, for helping us take our eyes off of ourselves, and many more. You have always provided for me and my family, and I give You all the praise for Your steady goodness and sovereignty over ALL things. You are a good, good Father.  

In this new year, as we are unsure of what the future holds, we trust Your plan for our lives and for the lives of those we hold so dear. Please keep our eyes and hearts focused on You wholeheartedly. Help us to continue to grow in wisdom and seek Your will in everything we do. Thank You for Your mercies, which are new every morning. 

We commit ourselves this year to walk with You each day and to praise You in all circumstances. Help us to be a reflection of Your light to a lost and hurting world. Let everything we say and do praise and honor You. 

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
