God of our yesterdays, our today's and our tomorrows. We praise You for Your
unequaled greatness. Thank You for the year behind us and for the year ahead,
Help us in Your new year to fret less and laugh more; To teach our children to
laugh by laughing with them; To teach others to love by loving them. Help us
to hear Your love song in every sunrise, in the chirping of sparrows in our backyards, in the stories of our old folks, and the fantasies of our children. Thank
You for another new year and for the chance to begin each day anew. We pray
for peace, for light, and for hope, in our lives and in our world. Forgive us for
falling short this past year. Give us the grace to learn from our mistakes and to
both seek and give forgiveness. May we enter this new year with joy and with
the determination to make our world a better place.
In Jesus name, Amen.
