A new year, with new beginnings, fresh starts. My heart beats with excitement, anticipating to a brand new year of adventure. But, at the same time, it beats with fear; wondering if this year will be better than the last.
Perhaps I worry too much about the future, hence the fear. Perhaps I think too much into things; wondering how I would cross bridges before I even come to any of them. But sometimes, determining that delicate line between reasonable forethought and paralyzing forethought is simply tricky.
I don’t want to be like a foolish and aimless man, who gives no thoughts about the future. But, neither do I want to plan for it until I become controlled by it. So Lord, please grant me a spirit of sound mind and wisdom as I embark this new year. Enable me to live each day, fearing nothing except You. Teach me and help me learn how to daily live with Your power and love.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
