Closing Prayer

12/31/2008

 
Father God, and Lord of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you have been loving, kind and faithful to see me through another year...
Thank you, as well, for watching over my family and my friends. I am a blessed man for the privilege of knowing you, and I want to know you even better.

Lord Jesus, you have been faithful to lead the church that's behind these walls. You've provided a chaplain for us who loves you, and who gives us your word. You've also shown us how to have peace with you by having faith in your name.

Now may we continue to experience your mercy and grace in the year ahead. May our nation awaken to its greatest need - not a smooth running economy or a season free from terrorism - as needful as these are, but may we sense the emptiness of a life lived without you. Let us see that without you as the True Leader of our land, we won't have lasting success. Instead we will reap a whirlwind of disappointment and destruction.

So in behalf of our leaders and citizens, I plead for your patience. In addition, please help our young people, and the elderly, too. Have compassion on the poor, jobless, homeless, and the destitute. Lord, may we recognize your hand as it works in our lives for our good, and for the benefit of this nation.

I ask all this in Jesus' name. Amen.

D.B.
