Dear Lord, I ask that You will keep me focused this year and that You will give me understanding, knowledge, and wisdom. Oh God, I pray that I will continue to put You first in my life. Lord, I pray that You will protect my family, my wife and children, my brothers and sisters, my nephews and nieces, and my in-laws and my parents. I pray that You will bring them happiness and joy in their hearts and in their lives and that You keep them focused on You. Oh God, watch over them and keep them safe and keep them moving forward with Your Word and Spirit. In Jesus’ name I pray… amen
