A New Year’s Benediction
A New Year’s Benediction
May the coming year be one of increased riches of grace—hearing His voice more clearly, knowing His heart more deeply, resting in His love more fully, trusting His care more completely, walking His pathway more peacefully, knowing His presence more intimately, blessed by His goodness more abundantly.
And in all things, may you know the shalom peace of God—encouraging you to move forward, empowering you to boldly take each step, greeting you as you turn a new corner, calming your heartbeat as you walk through dark valleys, softening each footstep as you climb rugged mountains, and increasing your courage as you follow your Shepherd wherever He leads.
You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture, and the hillsides blossom with joy. Psalm 65:11-12 NLT

I want to thank you for the benediction and scriture. I was just talking of the path I have been walking and as I have walked my journeys path I felt like I am constantly tripping. However I am comitted to getting up and dusting myself off and going towards the Lord. I was feeling just now how that has left me feeling like I never arrive. And reflecting my life like I have never arrive. The person that I was writting this to prompted us to do something with our hands. And… in that moment…I saw my hand and I placed it on His. Before today, I never saw anyone on that path with me…its going to be wonderful to walk with Him. I am looking forward to it. Which has lead me to here minutes later… A warm filled Word and greeting. I am delighted….and Thank you.
I declared this prayer for my walk in with Jesus…
Thank you my Savior for your awesome presence and your amazing love. May this my prayer this new year and always. Love you my God.
