Take a few deep breaths as you enter this time.  
Feel the quietness of the Spirit deepening in you.

As you take a look over the year that has passed, you may feel a mixed bag of emotions.  So much has happened globally.  So many have been affected by what feels out of their control.  And for you?  There may have been challenges and victories, things to persevere through that required tenacity and patience.  Let us offer into the hands of the Lord the journey 2016 has been.  Jesus walks with us through the memories and events as we take a look back.  His loving presence carries us, though we may not be aware of it all the time. He is Immanuel, God with us.

There may be some areas that feel in some ways unfinished.  Perhaps there are areas that feel as though they hang in the balance, and you desire closure. Perhaps some seasons have come to an end.  There may be areas that you rejoice over.  Blessings that outweigh the trials.  Shared happiness, laughter, open doors and new seasons that are opening up.  Perhaps you are at the start of something altogether new.  Perhaps you are at a cross-roads.

Take some time to wait quietly on the Holy Spirit and together observe what comes.  Ask the Lord to reveal to you anything He desires to bring to your attention.  Even though we may not be aware of everything going on internally, the Spirit is faithful and will gently bring revelation on areas that need His touch.  There is no striving in this kind of waiting.  At the right time, insight will come like waves come to the shore.  "But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings." Malachi 4:2

Lord, what do you desire to bring to my attention? I am here Lord, I am listening.
