Many Blessings for 2012

From our family to yours, we wish all of you visitors and members of bedashed a happy New Year and many blessings from our Great and Gracious God!

Another year has come to a close and it is our prayer for this New Year that you can come close to our God, that He will be your guiding light through all kinds of circumstances.

In the past year He has been with us as we developed bedashed. We brought many new features, like our store, the ability to collect points when you pray or praise, the ability to come together as groups and many other little additions. It has been an amazing journey.

Now that the development of bedashed is coming to a close (there are always new things we want to add) we look forward in 2012 to spread bedashed.com around and we hope you will help us. We look forward to new members joining and making a commitment to spending time with our God and we look forward to seeing old members return and become blessings to others on bedashed.

Let me leave you with a prayer for this New Year.

Dear God,

We thank you that you are constantly with your people,
We do not know what the new year will bring,
but we thank you that every moment of that year is in your hands,
and you will be with your people.

We thank you that with that promise,
we can go forward with confidence and in your peace.
We pray that you will help us to walk with you in this New Year better than we have ever done before.

Grant to us an even closer walk with you.
Help us to put sin to death,
Help us to focus our lives to Jesus Christ, our Savior, and God
that we may be willing to be, to go, to do, as he would wish.

We pray that it may be our privilege to serve him,
to bring glory to him, to help others to know him better,
and to help some, indeed, to come to know him for the first time.

Have mercy, we pray, upon those not connected with you.
Spare them, O God, we pray; spare them!
Grant that this New Year would mark the beginning of new life in Jesus Christ.

We are so thankful for the Holy Spirit,
for his limitless power
to convict us of our sin,
to bring us to our knees,
and to draw us close to You.

We pray, Lord, that you would do that in the hearts and lives of all who visit bedashed.com.

For Jesus’ sake,
Amen.
