May I finish this year well — at peace with others, faithful in heart, and ready to walk boldly into what You have prepared. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Let our love for others reflect the love You so freely give to us. We thank You for the gift of Immanuel — God with us — now and always. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
