A Year in His Hands: Reflecting on God’s grace.

Thank You, God, for saving me when I didn’t even realize I needed saving in 2024. Thank You for stepping into the battles I couldn’t see, for fighting on my behalf when I didn’t know the enemy was at work. Thank You for standing in the gap, for being my protector, my shield, and my refuge even in my ignorance. You stepped in when I was vulnerable, exposed, and unaware. Thank You for not letting me fall prey to traps that were meant to destroy me, for guarding my heart and my mind when I wasn’t even aware of the danger.

Thank You for healing the unseen wounds buried deep in my soul—wounds I had ignored, forgotten, or didn’t even know existed. Thank You for mending the brokenness I carried for so long, the parts of me that were shattered before I even realized they needed repair. Thank You for restoring the pieces of my faith that had crumbled under the weight of life’s disappointments and struggles. When I drifted far from You, unaware of how lost I had become, You lovingly brought me back, gently restoring my hope and confidence in You.

Thank You for removing people, habits, and situations that no longer served the purpose You designed for me, even when I didn’t understand why. Thank You for closing doors that led to destruction and for preparing new paths that align with Your will. Thank You for making room in my life for relationships that inspire, challenge, and help me grow into the person You’ve called me to be. I’m so grateful for the people You’ve placed in my life—family, and friends who have shown me love, grace, and support in ways that only You could have orchestrated. They’ve been blessings I didn’t know I needed, reminders of Your goodness and faithfulness.

Thank You, Lord, for answered prayers that filled my heart with joy and for unanswered prayers that shielded me from harm. Thank You for the wisdom to withhold what I thought I needed and for giving me what was best, even when I didn’t understand. Thank You for protecting me from the things I wanted but weren’t meant for me, and for redirecting me toward something better. Your plan has always been greater than mine, and I trust You even when I can’t see the full picture.

Thank You for carrying me through the valleys of despair, for holding me steady on the mountaintops of victory, and for walking with me through the muddy paths of life. Through every tear, every trial, and every test, You were there. You never left my side, even when I questioned or doubted. Thank You for being my comfort in the chaos, my light in the darkness, and my anchor when the storms of life felt overwhelming.

Thank You for protecting my mind when it could have been overtaken by fear, doubt, or despair. When I felt like giving up, You gave me the strength to carry on. When anxiety tried to consume me, You filled me with peace. When the weight of life was too heavy to bear, You reminded me that I was never meant to carry it alone. Thank You for being my strength when I had none, for giving me hope when I couldn’t see a way forward, and for being my rock when the ground beneath me felt unstable.

Thank You for orchestrating every encounter and every moment of my life in 2024—whether they brought joy, lessons, or growth. Thank You for the opportunities You provided, the people You brought into my life, and even the trials You allowed to shape me. Thank You for the blessings I recognized and for the ones I overlooked. Every step I’ve taken, You’ve guided. Every place I’ve been, You’ve been there ahead of me, preparing the way.

Thank You for being a God who never fails, never wavers, and never changes. Thank You for ensuring that no weapon formed against me prospered this past year. Thank You for being my fortress, my protector, and my provider. Through every challenge, You’ve shown me Your power. Through every victory, You’ve shown me Your grace. Through every moment of uncertainty, You’ve shown me Your faithfulness.

As I step into this new year, I carry with me the lessons You’ve taught me, the blessings You’ve poured out, and the unwavering confidence that You are with me.

This year, Lord, I surrender myself fully to You, offering my life as a blank canvas for Your divine artistry. Paint upon it the masterpiece You envision, shaping every detail with Your wisdom and love. May my life not only reflect Your power but also be a living testament of Your grace, mercy, and transformative work in me and through me. Let every stroke of Your hand bring glory to Your name, and may the beauty You create inspire others to seek You and trust in Your purpose. Use me, Lord, as an instrument of Your will, and let my journey be a reflection of Your faithfulness and greatness.

This year, When life feels unbearable, I will lean on You, knowing that You are my strength, my refuge, and my ever-present help. Thank You, God, for being my constant source of hope, my unchanging guide, and my loving Father. No matter what this year brings, I will trust in You, for You are good, You are faithful, and You are more than enough. Thank You for being the God who saves, redeems, restores, and loves without end.

Let’s make 2025 UNFORGETTABLE. Happy New Year Queens.
