Lord Jesus Christ, You are my only hope! Please help me to become a better person this year and beyond. Transform my heart and allow it to become more like You in each passing day. Heal me, Lord, with all my wounds and heal others whom I have wounded, too. Remove my pain, and remove their pain, too. I love You, Lord. Thank You for this life.
