A New Year Prayer… The Year Ahead
In the year ahead, Lord of New Beginnings, stretch our souls
and move us into new awareness of the human family,
their needs and their longings.
Make these into our needs, our longings so we move more confidently
from our small selves to a deeper sense of community
where our resolutions reflector interdependence.
Help us recognize the possibilities you have offered
to us as a people, so we can commit to practice
the Hope that happens when we gather gratefully
in your Name, and we hold up to you this fragile, precious world.
Grant us all the grace in this year ahead
to sow the seeds of justice and to gather peace in our day.
Amen.
