Prayer for the 1st Day of the Year

PRAYER FOR THE FIRST DAY OF THE YEAR

O God, ever blessed and eternal

I THANK you that today you have

Allowed me to begin a new year.

Here in your presence I make my

Resolutions for the days to come.

I resolve:

To be faithful and true to those who love me

And loyal to those who are my friends,

So that I may never bring distress to their hearts

To live in forgiveness and in kindness,

That I may go about doing good.

To live in goodness and purity

That I may resist temptation and

May be a strength to others who are tempted.

To live in sympathy and gentleness,

That I may bring comfort to the

Sorrowing, and understanding to the perplexed.

To live in serenity and self-control,

That no anger and no passion may

Disturb my own face and the

Peace of others.

To live in full obedience to you and

In your perfect love, that in doing

Your will I may find peace.

O God, My Father, grant me the

Strength to keep these resolutions

All this year through Jesus Christ

Our Lord.  AMEN.

2013 New Year Greeting

Happy New Year! From my family to yours, here's wishing all of you a grace-filled and blessed 2013!
