New Year Prayer

Heavenly Father, As we enter this New Year, we ask that it draws us nearer to You. Help us to take time to deepen our relationship with You. Guide us to truly appreciate the gifts that You have generously bestowed upon us, using them to serve You and share Your message. May we recognize and cherish Your presence in all those we encounter, so that through us, they may also discover You. We acknowledge that building relationships takes time, this holds true for our bond with You, Father and Holy Spirit, which flourishes throughout our lives. In this coming year, let us understand that every action we take, regardless of its size, connects us to You. Let us embrace Your presence in our lives, in the way that pleases You, as Truth to express, as Life to embody, as Light to illuminate, as Love to pursue, as Joy to share, as Peace to cultivate, as Sacrifice to offer among our families, friends, neighbors, and all people.Amen.
