A Prayer for 2020

By

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, I thought I would offer up a prayer for us all:

O Gracious Lord,

In this coming year, teach us to trust You more,
to love You more,
to obey You more quickly and more completely,
to forsake our besetting sins,
to bridle our tongues,
to live as children of God.

May we be quick to repent and forgive,
seek continual refreshment through Your Word and
constrain our steps through patience as we wait for Your direction.
May our habits be ones that please You and form us in Your image,
and may our love for our neighbor be unrestrained.

Help us to recognize Your constant presence,
to glorify You in every thought, word, and deed,
and to praise and thank You daily.

Amen.

Happy New Year from all of us at Inspired by Life…and Fiction.

D'Ann Mateer

Inspired by novelist Eugenia Price, D’Ann’s dream of writing historical fiction with an element of faith began in middle school, though her serious drive toward publication took a bit longer. D’Ann is the author of four historical novels and one novella, as well as a contemporary short stories in a compilation volume. D’Ann and her husband of 30 years can be found in Austin, TX when they aren’t touring historic sites or visiting their grown children.
