And now, Wise and Wonderful Father, we pray for Your Church! With glad and grateful hearts, we praise You for Your overflowing grace into our lives in this passing year. Because of Your overflowing grace into our lives, You’ve shielded us from evil. Strengthened us when our strength was failing and flagging! Sustained us to run the race You’ve set before us in this year that’s passing away! Shown us Your lovingkindness that is better than life (see Psalms 63:3)! Strongly supported us when our heart was completely Yours (see 2 Chronicles 16:9)! Satisfied our desires with good things! Yes, because of Your overflowing grace, You’ve lovingly shepherded us and surrounded us with favor as with a shield (see Psalms 5:12b)! Indeed, You will continue to do what You’ve started to do in our lives from the beginning of this year.
