 ** Prayer for You! ...**
+We can formulate our wishes, I can tell you how your year should be. You might think that
+words can be empty, or they can cease to exist. But there is also the other way: words can carry
+meaning, and they can have their own power and reality. This is when they are coming from prayer,
+when they are rooted in the living God, in father, son and holy spirit.
+So I pray that when you read this,
+the eternal Lord may look at you with the mercy you need. I pray that he gives you the
+love which fills you completely. May you experience it, and also pass it on to others!
+I pray that you find the relationships
+you need, those you desire! Above all, that you find the relationship to him, the one God who
+was the first relationship in himself, in father, son and holy spirit, before all time started.
+I pray that the hope of the Lord fills your heart, and that it is your light, in the new year. I pray that his
+hope surrounds you, and guides you, and helps you to walk over all hills and through all valleys of your
+personal path. I pray that you gain insight, insight in the area of your profession, but also insight
+into the people around you and insight into the Lord himself, the eternal God. May he be your light,
+so see - with your heart and your mind likewise!
+And I pray that you find the faith you need. May your faith be rooted in him, in the insight into the
+eternal Lord and saviour. May you discover this faith which gives life, joy and peace into your heart
+and your life, day by day, minute by minute! May he be with you in all what you do.
