As the pages of 2025 quietly close, we find ourselves standing at the doorway of a brand-new year—2026—carrying memories of battles fought, lessons learned, prayers answered, and some still waiting for fulfillment. The past year reminded us how fragile life can be, how quickly the world can change, and how deeply we need God’s guidance in every season. Yet, through it all, God remained faithful.
