Heavenly Father,
We begin this new calendar year with open hearts, open minds, and gratitude for the blessings we have received.
This year we resolve to love you more completely.
This year we resolve to reorder our priorities, placing faith, family, and friends ahead of things.
This year we resolve to do more to create disciples, be Jesus' hands and feet, and reach out to those in need - physically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually.
This year we resolve to spend time in the Word, study, and the fellowship of Christian brothers and sisters, uplifting and supporting each other in our walk.
This year we resolve to be intentional about giving You thanks for all the circumstances of our lives.
And this year we resolve to live each day giving you all honor and glory, praising you unceasingly, beloved Lord.
Amen and Amen.
