Abba, Today on this the final day of 2012 I thank you for
everyday and moment of it, even those I’ve questioned and wondered about. Thank
you for the support of our families, for the blessings they are not only to me
but to so many others, even when they may not ‘feel’ like it or know that they
are.
Thank you for a calling and a purpose for my and our lives. Thank
you for each of these my friends, brothers, sisters and fellow-labors in the
Gospel. We didn’t seek you, you sought, came, bled and died for us, THANK
YOU!!!
Thank you for the place where we serve. No matter that is
less then we wish and want it to be. I am where you want me and each of us to
be, at the moment. Thank you for courage, to continue to stand and serve with
grace and dignity. Thank you for Your Holy anointing, which cannot be purchased
or bought at any price. Thank you that I am serving under and by it and not of
myself.
Thank you for struggle and the pain that accompanies it,
even here you have meaning an purpose. I’m not in love with it, but as long as you
are present, I know you walk with and within me, enabling me to come forth as
pure gold. Help me to be an living example of the Christ who willingly when to
Calvary for those like me, who are undeserved, but for whom you were willing to
die.
Thank you for the country in which I live, give me courage
for face and challenge the evil which portrays itself as ‘goodness, and
fairness,’ when neither of these are true, but only self servicing. May I ever
stand against those who pray upon the weak and defenseless in the name of ‘the
greater good,’ when but a few benefit. Thank you for those who are a blessing
to those who otherwise might never believe they can rise above their past and
their present circumstances.
Come now Holy Spirit, rise within us, change us before we
attempt to change others. Come, thank you for breaking my heart, so that you
might heal the brokenness within me. Thank you seems like so little, for
someone who has given me and the world so much, I give you my heart and my
life, to use as You will, beginning this moment and for not only the “new year,”
but the rest of my life!!!
In the strong name of Jesus I pray, AMEN!!!
T.A.B.
