If He is the same yesterday, today and forever, that would be true of us this year and today too, right? Let’s look back at this eventful year and count all the prayers that have been answered.

Do we back every prayer with a promise from God’s word? The word of God is tested, true and stands fast forever. Despite our many faults, failures, we know that the Lord is faithful and all His promises are “Yes and Amen in Christ Jesus our Lord” (2 Corinthians 1:20).
