I need you! As important as my need is for a Savior who through his birth, life, death, and resurrection more than 2000 years ago I need you as my constant companion. The circumstances surrounding my life are so complex they are overwhelming and there is nothing and no one under the sun able to bring peace to my troubled spirit.
Come to me Lord Jesus. In my silent times I think about the New Year with all it’s possibilities and I feel so inadequate so vulnerable. As much as I need your blessings of miracles it is your friendship and companionship I value more for they are like an Oasis in hot and dry desert. Many times in course of the past year I have asked you to whisk me away yet deep in my heart I know I cannot and must not run away so please Lord come to me.
Create in me a new spirit Lord Jesus. With the New Year will come new challenges so each and every day I will need to stand and face them. As I face each of them they will mold me into a new person if I face them alone I will become a lonely person, if I face them with resources of this world I will become worldly, if I face with the resources of your kingdom I will become a child of God.
Please Lord Jesus help me walk in the background. The world needs to see the Glory of the Lord but instead the world sees me. The world needs to see it has not been left to itself but all the world sees are lives weighed down with hopelessness. My greatest desire for the New Year is place you in the forefront of my life not in prideful way but in humble way so it will be you the world will see not me. Please Lord Jesus take your rightful in the forefront of my life for all to see I do not struggle alone or in vain.
Create in me a new vision. Each and person born into the world has been created in the image and likeness of God. When my eyes refuse to acknowledge the kinship of all I meet please remove from my eyes the scales that diffuse the Celestial Light that radiates from each life no matter how dim it has become.
Lord Jesus no matter how hard I try to it is inevitable will I fail you so please forgive my inadequacies and my failures. And Lord if this is the year I will be called home I will go willingly not because I want to escape but because I hunger to be with you in a complete and perfect way.
Amen,
Me
May your 2004 be blessing not only to you but all you meet!
