Close your eyes and allow the past year to emerge gently. Then, in the calmness of this morning, think about what you have struggled with?
What has made you uncomfortable or disappointed? Is there something that you have learnt or can see growth in, in this last year? Has God been stirring something in you, an awareness or change?
May God give you light for these to become clearer.
Finally, imagine God looking at you with gentleness and love.
