As we approach the end of the decade, why not take a moment to thank God for last year, ask His forgiveness for where you have failed, and dedicate this new year to Him – to serve Him and love Him afresh.
Lord, You make all things new. You bring hope alive in our hearts and cause our Spirits to be born again. Thank you for this new decade, for all the potential it holds. Come and kindle in us a mighty flame so that in our time, many will see your wonders and live forever to praise your glorious name. Amen
