A Prayer for the New Year
(Author Unknown)

God of the years that lie behind us,
Lord of the years that stretch before,
Weaver of all the ties that bind us,
Keeper and King of the open door:

Grant us Hope and Courage glowing
White and pure as the stars above;
Grant us Faith in a full stream flowing,
From the heights of your eternal Love.

Out of the ruins of doubt and sorrow,
Out of the aches and pain of tears,
Help us to fashion a new tomorrow,
Free from anguish of blighting fears.

All through the seasons of sowing and reaping,
All through the harvest of songs and tears
Hold us close in Your tender keeping,
O Maker of all New Years.

With anticipation for all God will call us to in 2025,
Pastor Molly
