New Year Prayer
God, as this new year dawns,
let us not be blinded by the
world’s darkness,
or consumed by paralyzing fear.
Let us remember:
from darkness you bring forth
light,
out of winter’s death you give
birth to life.
Let us remember:
that which is dormant will spring
to life,
that which is pruned will sprout
new strength.
Let us remember:
You are the light that gives us
sight,
You are the breath that gives us
life,
You are the water that quenches
thirst.
God, as this new year dawns,
let us give birth to what honours
You,
let us give life to what makes
your goodness shine,
let us give growth to your
emerging eternal world.
In the depths of our hearts we
cry:
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
