Prayer for the New Year
Everloving God it is a new year full of new opportunities
As we ask forgiveness for the past
And make resolutions for the future
May we show your love and live your way
May we take time to pause and draw strength
And let our souls catch up
And be refreshed regularly through this year
May we show your love and live your way
May we remember the poor and the forgotten
The marginalized and the weak
And find ways to show your compassion
May we show your love and live your way
May the healing hope of the gospel be integral to our lives
So that the ways of justice and peace are reflected in us
May we show your love and live your way
May we take time to see the beauty of your world –
To see the beauty of trees, flowers, birds and animals –
To cherish them and work for the sustaining of our garden home –
So that we leave it in a good state for generations to come
May we show your love and live your way
May our hearts be refreshed by joy, music, creativity, love and hope
So we in turn can bring hope and joy to others.
Throughout this year may we show your love
and live your way.

As we journey on the road
Let justice roll – let freedom come
With deeds of love and liberation’
