New Year Prayer
Thank you, Lord, for giving us the brand new year ahead.
Help us live the way we should as each new day we tread.
Give us gentle wisdom that we may help a friend
Give us strength and courage that a shoulder we might lend.
The year ahead is empty, help us to fill it with good things.
And we pray that each new day will be filled with peace, joy and happiness.
