Our strength is found in our Savior! May we begin and end 2026 walking with Jesus. He holds our future!

“11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Christ stays close to us on the mountaintops and in the valleys. He lives in our hearts and is nearer than our next heartbeat.

The Word of God contains wisdom for everyday of our lives. We receive directions guiding our next steps.

“1 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. Isaiah 60:1 (NIV)

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Your love extends from generation to generation. Lord, Your love is eternal! May we spread the love of Jesus to everyone this New Year. In Jesus Name, Amen.
