We humbly come to you, Lord, with praise. We thank you for your unwavering love. We thank you for bringing us through the last two months. Lord, you showed us your strength on those tough days, you showed us grace when trouble arose, you showed us forgiveness when we made those unforgivable errors, and you showed us love when we didn’t feel loved. You reminded us of the peace we can only find in you. You comforted our hearts when we were feeling down, and you lifted us when we said your name.
I humbly come to you with thanksgiving. Lord, I thank you for bringing me through another year. I thank you for another year of growth, with more understanding, more wisdom, more love, and appreciation for my life and those around me. I know that every day wasn’t easy, but I got through it with You by my side. Lord, as this year is upon me, may you teach and guide me with patience – in myself, in others, and waiting on You. May You teach and guide me in love – for myself, and show the love for others as you show me. Lord, please keep and bless my loved ones and me through each day of 2026. Please show me the true meaning of how to live my life like You would want me to. Thank you so much, I honor Your name. AMEN.
We come before you, first to acknowledge who you are as our Lord and Savior. We give all praise and glory. We give you thanks for waking us to see another day, new mercies. We cast aside all fears from the enemy, who comes to rob, kill, and destroy. We stand on Your word, which is a promise that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We know that our life has a purpose, so we walk by faith and not by sight. We thank You, Lord, that our daily walk with You has provided new heights each day. We not only find peace, but with You, we have perfect peace. We not only have love, but with You, we have unfailing love.
