Thank you Lord for letting us begin a new year.
Give us insight into the possibilities ahead
and the strength to accept the challenges before us.
Open our eyes and hearts to the beauties of nature
and the warmth of unexpected smiles.
Help us find joy in everyday activities and
freedom in truth as we struggle with questions
unanswered.
Guide us in our journey to seek wisdom
and learn to accept the peacefulness of our destiny.
Assist us in honoring our relationships
and marveling at the gifts of those around us.
Help us remember the past, find wonder in the present,
and hope in the future.
Thank you Lord for letting us begin a new year.
