Dear God,

Although I am not one to stay up late and bring in the new year, I do consider the past year and the new year coming.  Mostly I do it by faith.  Has faith played a major role in my life this last year?  Will I commit myself more and more to you in the new year?

I don't look at success as one of my measures for reflecting upon a year lived.  I do not check my account balances, my material accumulations, my travels, my work, or my canning efforts.  I ask myself the more difficult questions.  Did I love much?  Did I reach out?  Did I forgive?  Did I trust?  Did I walk in faith?  My overall score is probably a C.  I need work in my soul.

Heavenly Father,
full of grace,
thank you
for the blessing
of faith.
Thank you
for helping me
see the truth
of myself.
Please help me
in the
new year
to be reborn.

Love, Andrea
