Dear Lord, A fresh new year is now underway. Let us be thankful for the blessings of the past year and to take stock of all our achievements. Keep us aware that New Year 2019 is another opportunity to start afresh, to start strong, to put on a new self, and yet another chance to do seek you in the busy moments of each day. Help us to see your handiwork in, among and around our daily moments and never tire of starting again.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:28-29

This day is full of beauty and adventure; help me Lord to be fully alive to it all. During this day, may I become a more thoughtful person, a more prayerful person, a more generous and kindly person. Help me not to be turned in on myself but to be sensitive and helpful to others. Let me do nothing today that will hurt anyone, but let me help at least a little, to make life more pleasant for those I meet. AMEN

Dear Lord, thank you so much for another day of life on Earth. Thank you for another beautiful sunrise to enjoy. Thank you for the wonderful sounds of nature, from the cool breeze brushing through the trees to the birds singing melodies. You are a wonderful God, full of grace and mercy. I praise you for allowing me another day to spend with those I love and to help those in need. Amen.
Dear God, I pray for happiness. I pray that I have a cheerful heart. Help me to see the humor in everyday life. Help me to smile more and share that smile with others. May I have a positive attitude, and a face that shines with joy, filled with your love and spirit. In Jesus name. Amen
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
