“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Matthew 6:34, ESV
We can know that we have hope for eternal life, and that can give us strength for today. Let us worship God for giving us strength and hope.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11, ESV
No matter how hard this life gets, we know God has His eyes on us. Let us worship Him for His omniscience and benevolence.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV
When we follow and worship God, life makes much more sense. This life may not be the easiest, but we know webare going the right way.

On some positive notes, my Youth Group grew much bigger, and the Instructional Assistant (one step below professor, but I still teach … but mostly grade work and keep students on task) for Christian Worldview at Grand Canyon University job is proving fruitful n many ways. A big one is that I personally have gotten to lead several people to faith in Christ and help others grow deeper in their faith, as well as helping some who had been antagonistic to religion in general and Christianity in particular be more open-minded. That is pretty cool.
Overall, we had a good year. We also did a lot of upgrades around the house, and otherwise have done many things we wanted/needed to do.
And God is still good and in control.
This next year will definitely be … 2023.
In any event, may you receive an abundance of bunches of blessings this year. And though life may take some effort to trudge through, fall on the promises of God, this year and always.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26 ESV
In His Love,
Daniel
