It takes strength to surrender and courage to let go. \\u201c. . . Now we are released . . . from . . . what held us captive, so that we may serve in the newness of the spirit\\u201d (Romans 7:6).
\\nIt takes faith to leave the path we know. \\u201cLORD; teach me your paths\\u201d (Psalm 25:4-5).
\\nLet God lead me. Let Spirit lead me, let love lead me home. \\u201cWhen the people of the land enter the presence of the LORD . . . no one shall return by the gate through which he has entered . . . . [This is to be] The year of release\\u201d (Ezekial 46:9, 17).
\\nGive me strength to surrender, courage to let go of the past, and love to lead me through the best year I have ever seen: two thousand and thirteen.
