Jeremiah 1:5 - Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Dear God,

Today, as I count my years, my first and greatest thought is simply: Thank You. [

Thank You for the breath in my lungs, the beating of my heart, and the quiet grace that woke me up to see another birthday. Looking back over this past year, I see Your fingerprints everywhere. There were seasons of deep joy that made me smile, and there were quiet, challenging moments where I didn't know what was coming next—yet Your hand was steady, holding me through every single step.

Lord, I don't take tomorrow for granted, and I certainly don't take the gift of this life for granted. Thank You for the lessons learned, the doors You opened, the doors You gracefully closed, and the unseen protection You placed around me and the people I love.

As I step into this new year of my life, I surrender my plans, my worries, and my hopes to You. Mold my heart to be more like Yours. Give me the strength to walk in the purpose You have laid out for me, the wisdom to make the most of every day, and a spirit that always remembers to look back with gratitude.

Thank You for loving me through my flaws, for being my refuge, and for walking with me into this brand-new chapter.

Amen.
