The Lord bless you and keep
you; the Lord make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you, the Lord turn his face
toward you and give you peace.
Numbers
6:24
The
hopes and fears of all the years were met when Jesus was born in the stable so
long ago. The hope and fear of beginning 2013 brings us to wonder and rejoice
in Jesus for Jesus will help us each moment of every day in this year before
us. Right now the calendars are empty and it is up to us how we will fill our
days and nights sharing and giving of ourselves. And if we are unsure of what
to do pray to God to lead you into doing something new. Pray to God and ask him
how you may serve others in Jesus’ name through His church.
God
made all things possible and throughout the world everyone has just changed
calendars and our future is before us. Yet none of us know what is to come. No
one knows how God will connect with us in these days. All we do know is that
God will lead us if we truly have faith and believe in God and in the Christ
who came and is with us now.
One
of the most important things to do in this New Year is to pray and give thanks
for the last year with both good and bad days; celebrations and sad times, and
times of growing in faith. This may also be one of your resolutions for this
New Year to pray to God more regularly and to think of others as you remember
Christ as the Risen Saviour. And if you do this God will bless you and you in
turn may bless others not just once in a while but each day! Give thanks to God
and may God bless you in 2013.
My question to you
is what will you pray for this year?
What actions will you carry out
as a Christian to ensure that your prayers are answered.
Good writing
