Arise, all you who trust and believe in the Lord God Almighty. Stir yourself and awaken to this new year. For there is hope for our future, and brighter days ahead
The wisdom and goodness of our God will lead us; He will show us a way, for He loves those who trust in Him and cares for every believer
He calls out to us so that we might follow His ways; and encourages us to pray and study His Word, so that we might be instruments of peace and goodness
His Spirit is with us, to lead us on pathways of healing that fosters renewal and mends divisions between us
Praise our God and seek Him, for He is just and will guide us in the best course
Arouse your heart and your mind to create a spirit of forgiveness. First, towards others, and then to mend a wrong spirit within you.
Confess these to our God, and seek His forgiveness. Repent of anything that does not side with His nature. Align yourself with the perfect power of His love, for it will be as healing you, and to those around you
Become a living blessing upon this earth, so that God’s will could be made real through your life, and so that its goodness might ripple out across our land
Arise, awaken His life within you. Lift up your spirit to meet His. Praise Him, and thank Him, for allowing you access to His heart
Cast off the Spirit of blame, and seek a way to mend divisions and distrust
Denounce any scourge of hatred of others that resides within you. Replace it with understanding, for we all share the same needs; we all require love and care to survive in this world
The Lord, our God, calls out to every one of His believers; He speaks to those who call upon His name
He whispers to us in gentle words that pack infinite power; they are strong enough to break down the walls between us, and convey truths that can melt away our fears and anger
God brings us to the realization that His Wisdom is greater than ours; that we are weak and easily misguided
Arise, all you believers, go before your God; seek peace and harmony, for our God is a God who values peace far above conflict
He is a God of love, not hatred. He wants to draw all people towards His truth, so that His love would be all in all throughout the world. 1/19/2021
