20"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

Pray for them?
Luke 6:27-28 (New International Version)
27"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
It's easy to pray for those we love, but we are commanded to pray for our enemies, also.
It's not an easy task, and only through the power of God will we succeed.

A new year or a new day?
As this new year came in; the thought scared me a little to think of a whole year at a time. Oh how fast it will fly by! I decided it's easier to take things day by day, perhaps hour by hour or moment by moment. I have precious memories from 2008, and certainly lessons I've learned along the way. As time rolls on by God never changes, and His Word is all the direction we need for life. I pray that this year will be my best yet, and I'll allow God to use me as never before. May He bless all who reads this!
Psalm 90:14
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
