Prayer for the new year

A year has past, it has been a year full of excitement and travel, happiness and sadness, changes and settling in. I want to start the year being thankful for some things that have been a large part of my life in 2009 and praying for up and coming things in 2010.

There are too many things on my heart to name here and even then I am sure most would be of no general interest.

These are but a selection, please dont take insult if I have forgotten you, I am constantly praying for so many of you it would be nigh impossible to cover it all.

Thank you so much for the comments and uplifting words I have received over the last 6 months and please keep them coming.

God bless, Ben
