Lord, You bring us to a new juncture of rebuilding. As we cross over from the end of this year and into the beginning of the next, be our constant advisor. Remind us to turn to You as we rebuild our futures, our relationships, our government and our faith. Don’t allow us to remain where we are, Lord. Grow us. Grow our circles of influence for the kingdom. Show us to rely on your wisdom and provision. Lead us to where You want us to bloom. Prepare us for the work that is for the greater good and for your glory. Be honored and glorified in the outcomes, in the name and authority of Jesus, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“Therefore, thus says the LORD, I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy; my house shall be built in it, declares the LORD of hosts, and the measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” (Zechariah 1:16 ESV)
