New Year Prayer

Prayer for the New Year:
There are so many hopes and dreams laid on this one day, Lord – so many people relying on its passing to bring a clean slate. And then in two days when all resolutions are already dashed, disappointment rears. God, You said that You provide a new beginning all the time, with new mercies every morning. Thank you for that. As we enter a new year, I ask You to stay at the forefront of our days, that we may claim those new beginnings and mercies, and that this would be a blessed year. We know it will be because You are already there. Thank You, Lord. Amen. (by Anna Rendell)
