Prayer for today (1/11/16)

Most precious Jesus, Lord of all, as I look back on last year, I am moved to say thank you for providing and protecting, guiding and directing, comforting and healing and forgiving and remembering our sins no more. Only you can make our world seem bright just by a lift of your mighty hands. You are our everything. Without you we would be lost. We remember your coming to show us the way and to fulfill the prophet's words of promise. O how I love you, my Savior and my Lord. Thank you for another year. Amen.
