A New Year's Prayer
Posted: January 10, 2026
It’s a new year and a new opportunity to trust God…
While resolutions weary me
I still have one resolve.
To live each day for You alone
as weeks and months evolve.
The challenges this year will bring
will drop me to my knees.
And so I’m asking You, dear Lord,
to give me wisdom. Please!
Direct my steps along a path
that isn’t always clear.
And when I’m forced to make a choice,
don’t let me cave to fear.
I hope this year will prove my trust
in what You’ve planned for me.
So give me grace, dear loving God,
to live expectantly.
