Daily Prayer for January 1st, 2018
Good morning, God—thank You for a brand new year! :o)
Give me wisdom, courage, and strength to face the road ahead of me—lead me through my every endeavor. Open new doors to me that need to be opened, and close tight the ones that should be shut. Let Your grace flow through my life, so that others around me, are drawn to You. I love You—thank You for loving me. In Jesus name. Amen.

and will level the mountains;
I will break down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
