Gracious God,
As we stand at the threshold of a new year, we pause to express our gratitude for the journey of the past year—its lessons, its joys, and even its challenges. We thank You for the grace that has carried us through each moment.
We pray for the year ahead, asking for Your guidance and wisdom to navigate the paths before us. May this new year be a time of growth, renewal, and peace.
Grant us the courage to let go of what no longer serves us, the strength to embrace new opportunities, and the compassion to support one another.
We pray for healing where there is hurt, for unity where there is division, and for hope where there is despair. May we all find moments of joy, love, and connection.
Bless our families, friends, and all those we hold dear. Protect those who are vulnerable and guide those in leadership to act with justice and empathy.
As we step into this new chapter, may our hearts be open to Your love, our minds to Your wisdom, and our hands ready for service.
In the spirit of new beginnings, we commit this year to You, trusting in Your unfailing love and endless possibilities.
Amen.
