2. NEW YEAR’S PRAYER
O God of new beginning and
wonderful surprises,
Thank you for the gift of a new
year.
May it be a time of grace for us, a
time to grow in faith and love,
A time to renew our commitment to
following Your Son, Jesus.

3. May it be of blessing for us, a time to cherish
our family and friends,
A time to renew our efforts at work, a time to
embrace our faith more fully.
Walk with, please, in every day and every
hour of this New Year
That the light of Christ might shine through
us, in spite of our weaknesses and failings.
Give us the kindness to hear with compassion,
To offer support, loving comfort, and care.

4. Give us the courage to do what is needed,
The wisdom to choose, what is right and
fair.
Give us the vision to see what is possible.
Give us the faith that will help pave the way
for a present that is hopeful, a future that
peaceful –
Give us heart to bring joy to each day.
We pray for peace, for light, and for hope,
that we might spread them to others.
Forgive us for falling short this past year.

5. We leave the irreparable past in
your hands, and step out into the
unknown New Year knowing you
will go with us.
We accept your gifts of a new year
and we rejoice in what’s ahead,
depending on you to help us
exactly what You want.

6. Above all, may we
remember this year
that we are pilgrim
on the sacred path to
you.
