Dear Jesus,

Thank You so much for everything. Thank You for a wonderful start to this new year. Thank You for forgiveness, mercy, and grace. Thank You for new beginnings. Thank You for drawing me closer to You with each passing day.

Jesus, You are my everything. You are my hope, my strength, my love, my joy, my trust, my life, my best friend, my salvation, my everything! I am absolutely nothing without You.

Lord I pray You just help me to keep on growing in my walk with You. To help me remain humble, so I know always that I need You. I don't want to ever think that I don't or that I have everything under control. It is all You.

I thank You for so many learning experiences. For the good and the bad. For each and every single laugh and smile, every breath I take. For every tear I cry for whatever reason. It is all for You, Lord. All of it is for You and Your glory.

You take the mistakes and use them for Your Glory. I don't know what I would do without you.

You are so precious to me, Lord. I know I say it so much, but I love You! I love You more than life itself.

I pray Lord, that You help me to be stronger, more independent. That You help me to keep growing as a woman. That You show me what You want me to do, helping me seek Your will and not my own.

Lord I lay it all at Your feet. I love You so very much, forever and ever. Lord I pray for peace, healing, and salvation for the entire world.

You are forever and always my very best friend.

In Jesus Name
Amen
