Dear God,
As the new year has started, we are excited for the chance to start over…a new semester, a new routine, a new cycle. With all our hearts we embrace the hope that this time can bring to our daily life.
We know that even as we hope for a new start, you were with us last year, and are with us now as we face the future, and will be with us always, within us, loving us, guiding us and showing us grace whatever happens. We thank you so much for that.
We know there will be times this year, that we question, times that we doubt, times that we forget you and your love for us. And God we are grateful for your forgiveness and grace that ulimately makes that ok...but help us to remember that as we get back into the swing of things, as we go back to work and to school…help us to remember that in every situation we find ourselves you are our God, and it is you to whom we owe our inspiration, our hope, our love, our life.
God, be with those who need to feel you with them right now, those in this room and around the world who need to feel you as this year begins…bless those who are working and serving in the name of love and truth and justice and peace…those who are working and serving in your name.
We thank you for this new day, and this new year. May your presence and blessings be felt by all now and in the year to come. In the name of your Holy son, by the power of your Holy Spirit.
Amen.
