Beginning the New Year with Prayer

As we enter a new year, it is a time for resolutions and for reflecting on what we would like to see happen in our lives. Some of it might seem like wishful thinking; but in reality, we would hope that if possible, what we long for would come to us.

I believe that prayer is an excellent way for us to begin the year. We can put our hopes and dreams in God's hands. I have learned that we can never underestimate the power of prayer. God can do far more than what we can ask or even imagine.

We read in Luke's Gospel the words of Jesus: "Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you." (Luke 11:9)

What do you want in the year 2010? For what will you be searching? What door do you want to be opened for you?

May you have a blessed New Year!
