to have the trust in god that needs to accompany them. after all, what good is it to pray for his will to be done in my life if i'm not really trusting that things will work out as i think they should? if things worked out how i thought they should, think of all the things i would miss out on!
and so i wish you a happy new year! may you and i both make (and with his help, keep) resolutions this year for god's good purpose and glory.
