I'm continuing the birthday theme for one last post (previous here and here), with my prayer for the coming year of my life.
 |
Thank you for your faithfulness in the past year,
For grace in difficult situations,
For growth as a pastor
For relationships that have supported me.
And in this year to come, may I be a person of
Strength,
Joy,
Stability, and
Hospitality.
May I grow in my
relationship with you,
prayer life,
memorized scripture, and
identity in Christ.
May I live in community with friends
Near,
Far,
Old, and
New.
May I serve you
Faithfully,
With wisdom,
With self-less love for others, and
Wherever you call me.
May I be filled with joy
Exploring your creation,
Creating beautiful things,
Laughing with friends,
And trying new things.
Whether in word or in deed,
Be done in the name of Jesus.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
