Prayer for New Year

Prayer for the New Year
Grant me the strength from day to day
To bear what burdens come my way.
Grant me throughout this bright New Year
More to endure and less to fear.
Help me live that I may be
From spite and petty malice free.
Let me not bitterly complain
When cherished hopes of mine prove vain,
Or spoil with deeds of hate and rage
Some fair tomorrow's spotless page.
Lord, as the days shall come and go
In courage let me stronger grow....

Thank you Trevina for this beautiful post. I am attaching my prayer to yours:
Dear God,
Your power is evident all around me, in the restless motion of the oceans and the non-stop energy of children at play. You hold the planets in their orbits and fuel a billion stars. Yet, You are as close to me as my breath. I am humbled as I ponder Your continuous and limitless creation. Open my mind, O God. Awaken the creativity and passion that You have placed within me. Teach me how to express You, always.
Thank You.
Thank You.
Thank You!
