Prayer for the New Year

PROK Morning Office

SCRIPTURE READING
     Psalm 136

PRAYER

Most loving God,
God of every beginning,
We praise and adore you.
A new year has dawned upon us.
We thank you for another brand new year, a 365 days of life and service.

We are filled with hopes and expectations of how your grace and love will bring goodness, health and opportunities.  

By faith and prayers we trust that you will nourish and sustain us especially in times of difficulties and confusion.

Firm-up our wavering empathy for persons in work and community. May we unfalteringly express your practical compassion in our relationships.

Let not prejudice and selfishness be the basis of our self-esteem and human dignity, but your love that encompasses even our muted anxiety and insecurity.

We are confident in faith that nothing will separate us from your abounding and steadfast love.

Bless and empower us to do our share in the building of peace in our society and the world. 

We pray these in the name of Jesus Christ, our source of New Life. Amen.
