Dear Jesus,
As the calendar turns yet another year in my mist-like life, I pray that you will clothe me with kindness and compassion (Eph 4:2). To not be too much in a hurry to be kind. To see the soul within the other, and treat others with Your compassion – not with haughty eyes or judgment.
In dealing with the world, may it be that I have conducted myself with integrity and godly sincerity in all these relationships, relying not on worldly wisdom but on Your grace. (2 Cor 1:4) Especially as I grow in my responsibilities, help me not forfeit my soul, for what is fleeting - for these things will pass away. Help me in the work I have to do, but help me work less. That i might live according to my priorities Lord. First as Your child, then as a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend; and then servant-leader, worker and all the rest.
Help me remember Your gentle and lowly spirit each morning, and live each day seeking to be more like you. Help me cast my burdens on you, and carry your light yoke. To rest in You when I'm weary (Matt 11:28-30).
Thank you Lord for being my light. To live in Your loving kindness, steadfast love and faithfulness to Your people. In Your Name I pray, Amen.
