Yahweh, it’s officially 2023!!
Thank you for this past year. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being faithful. I don’t exactly know what the future holds though you have given me a vision of parts of it. Thank you for your promises and your word over my life. Thank you for the community that you have placed me in. Help me to do the work that you have called me to do. Thank you for you. Thank you for the times that you have said no, even though it hurts. But I’m also thankful for the times you have said yes. Keep us Yahweh in your will. Remember this church community. Strengthen us in you. Let your will be done. I love you. Amen.
TODAY’S THANKFUL TALLY
- 2022. The painfully exhilarating year that just ended.
- 2023 and the hope for the future.
- A saddened heart by the realisation that what I hoped for is not evident.
Thank you Yahweh. Good night.
Psalm 16:11 – You make the path of life known to me. Complete joy is in your presence. Pleasures are by your side forever.
–
1 Peter 1:8-9 – Although you have never seen Christ, you love him. You don’t see him now, but you believe in him. You are extremely happy with joy and praise that can hardly be expressed in words as you obtain the salvation that is the goal of your faith.
I’m leaving 2022 behind. But I will remember the lessons learnt. I will remember the ways that you have led. I will trust you for my future because you are good. You are a good father and you are my father. Thank you. I love you.
I will be still.
I will obey.
I will trust you.
I will obey you.
And despite my current fears, I will not hold on to them. I will trust that even if next year 2024 I am still single, it’s because it’s for my good. Help me to learn what you require of me in this season. Your will through it all.
Okay. So of a truth. The biggest part that concerns me. Was it all circumstantial? I think that’s what’s bothering me also. Was I far off then? Or am I far off now? I’m always saying, please correct because I don’t want to do my own thing. My hope is not wasted. Though I had hopes for us, my hope is in you. Sometimes I wonder if my words are not in agreement with you. I pray that they are.
