God, You have this year in Your hand.
You know the end from the beginning, and You will be with us every step along the way.
So, steady us. And show us, God, all we need to know and to do.
Use us, as You have already orchestrated in Your sovereignty, as instruments to advance Your kingdom.
Make us to know Your faithfulness in every space that the year ahead of us holds.
Help us to be aware of the many ways that Your love upholds us every day, pointing us to the fullness of Your love in the salvation You have given us through Jesus.
Remind us that our lives here are but a breath within Your grand plan.
Here, in this new chapter, we continue to look for the resurrection of the life to come.
You are good, and You are with us.
Thank you for a new year to be witnesses to Your many new mercies.
Amen.
