Dear God, It is a new year on this earth--2012.
I want to begin the year with praise and thankfulness to You.
I want to recommit myself to You; to do Your good will; to follow Your word and the guidance of Your Holy Spirit.
I want to draw closer to You in word, thought, and deed.
Please help me draw on Your strength to stand and resist devil always.
I want to come near to You and feel Your presence near to me.
I desire to wash my hands and purify my heart, and remain single-minded.
I am sorry for not taking things seriously sometimes and I am sorry for my sins which grieve the Holy Spirit and disappoint You.
I come before Your presence today, and humble myself dear Lord, for You are worthy of all praise and honor and glory.
I praise You that through the blood of Jesus, I have received your forgiveness and life and am made righteous.
Please lift me up to the place You would have me be, carry me through the valleys, and rejoice with me on the mountaintops.
I long for unbroken fellowship with You.
I thank you for the joy You have given me within.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray and give You my love, Amen.
Joyce...Be faithful. Stand firm. And see the glory of the Lord.
Amen.
