a prayer for the new year

God of all time, Here for our past, present, and future. You call us to reflect on what has been to shape the outline of the future.

Hold space for this time. Giving thanks for the good, Grieving the losses, Curious to your abiding presence in this world.

Empower our minds and hearts To heal the wounds To bridge the divides To dance with joy.

Let us resolve to simply be. Your grace is sufficient for this day, the next, and every day, With the peace of Christ which surpasses all understanding.
