Looking Back – Looking Forward to 2017
(Prayer as prose) Oh Lord, My God, It has been a golden year, Full of triumph and celebration Laced with trials and tribulations, With the fullness of your grace. You have stretched us toward your mark; You have challenged us to stand strong. We’ve won some; We’ve lost some; And, Some were a draw. But there has always been victory in you. You’ve shone us glimpses of a future, Emboldened us to chase our dreams, And chastened us to no longer live in fear - For you are always with us. As we embark on the New Year, Daunting as it may seem – from far off places, We are reminded that - Just as you have been here every other year, You will be here this New Year, too. We lift our hands in praise for 2016- A year of glorious revelations and wondrous blessings. A year of learning who you want us to be. We march forward and shout Hallelujah for 2017 – The year of more accepted challenges, More fervent prayer, More of You; In Jesus’ name we pray and praise; Happy New Year, Amen.
