Heavenly Father,
Thank you for loving me and knowing me enough to guide me in the best ways. I trust You to show me my heart, to discover what You want to change so I reflect You to a lost and weary world. I want to run ahead of You and determine what I think is best for my life. I admit I don’t know what You desire without taking time to ask You to search my heart. Look deep inside me, Lord. I trust You to treat me with gentle love.
I resolve to growing in faith and spiritual maturity, and I’m going to let You lead me because you know me better than I know myself. Let this year be a year of my life bringing You honor and glory. Try me, know my thoughts, and then lead me in the way everlasting.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
