My word for 2013: prayer

I don't know much about the future, but I do know one thing -- I will need to be praying next year. My word for 2013 is prayer, the verse is Hebrews 4:16 -- Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

I have picked a word and Bible verse for the year for the past three years. I began with refuge in 2010, and the verse was Nahum 1:7. My word for 2011 was wisdom, and the verse was Proverbs 2:6. My word for 2012 was simple, and the verse was Psalms 1:6. The idea of God as a refuge came in handy in 2010, but I didn't do so well at gaining wisdom or keeping it simple in 2011 or 2012. Let's hope I gain some ability to keep prayer in the forefront for 2013.
