PRAYER TO WELCOME THE NEW YEAR
Almighty Father, we thank You graciously for a New Year. We ask You, Lord, to bless us and our families, as we begin this blessed year with a renewed hope in You.
Lord, we thank You so much for all that You have done for us and our families. Your hand on our lives is so much more than we could ask for. Your blessings are so greatly appreciated.
As this New Year commences, let us remember the past year. In so doing, we truly repent of all that has hindered us from abiding in You. Forgive us, for the promises and resolutions we made and never fulfilled.
Forgive us, for the times we neglected prayer and Your word as our focus. Let us recall the things that hindered us from getting closer to You and keeping Your word. May we come to realize our mistakes and shortcomings and make amends. Help us Lord, to be willing to forgive ourselves and to forgive one another.
Lord, remind us of our truest values and our deepest desires. Help us to live in the goodness that comes from doing what You want us to do. Help us to put aside anxiety about the future and regret of the past, so that we might live in peace with You now, one day at a time. Amen!
