January 2: Where do you stand?

Dearest heavenly father,
We praise You and bless You for this wonderful day which You have made, that we can rejoice and be glad in. Blessed be Thy Holy name forevermore. Our Lord and our God we thank You for Your word and how Your eyes run to and fro the ends of the earth, looking for those whose hearts are perfect before You, those who seek You, Father, grant me the grace to be one of these ones in Jesus name. Grant me the grace too dear God to not stand in the way of sinners, nor walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor sit in the seat of the scornful, but to delight in Your word and meditate therein day and night. Abba Father give unto me also Your spirit of discernment, to know between right and wrong, good and evil and in particular to discern the way of sinners. We pray all these, thanking You O God in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
