2007~2008

2007 was filled with lessons learned; let us pray that 2008 will be filled with opportunities to live out those lessons.

2007 was a time of testing; let us pray that 2008 shows positive results to those tests.

2007 was filled with new experiences; let us pray that 2008 gives us a chance to remember those experiences thankfully, and to count our blessings.

2007 was a time when God revealed Himself through those lessons, tests, and experiences; let us pray that in 2008 we will not forget Him and never take Him for granted.

2007 was filled with surprises, some good some bad; let us pray that 2008 will be a time for us to evaluate our reactions to those surprises, and that God will prepare us for the surprises that lay ahead.

2007 was a strange year for some. Each day held a new challenge, a new question, a new road to travel.

2007 was not always pleasant, not always easy, not always comfortable.

2007 was an opportunity for growth, change, and overcoming.

I pray that 2008 will hold new opportunities, new challenges, and new roads.

I pray that in 2008 we will be stronger, sharper, and ever ready to take up the task that God has given us, willing and able to push forward towards the prize.

I pray that 2008 will be a time for keeping promises, fulfilling goals, and leaving procrastination behind.

I pray that 2008 will be a time for winning more souls than ever to Christ, and beckoning the return of our Lord.

I pray that 2008 will be a time of great growth and strength, physically, spiritually, and mentally.

I pray that 2008 will be a year of encouragement and edification, not forgetting the lessons learned in years past, but using them to our advantage, diligently pressing forward.

I pray that 2008 will be a year for decisiveness, not leading anyone to doubt, but surety in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I pray that 2008 will be a time of fervent prayer, never forgetting our brothers and sisters, a dying world, and our own hearts in need of forgiveness and renewal.

I pray that 2008 will be God's year, not letting the enemy prevail, not letting our flesh or the world hinder us; overcoming our weaknesses in the power of Christ, and thriving on the Word of Life.

I pray that 2008 will not be 2007 , or any other year, but a year of great change and revival among the true Body and Bride of Christ.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!
