A New Year Prayer

At the start of 2008 (yes, 2008) a fellow artist and small business owner posted a prayer on one of my chat groups that truly struck a cord. I saved that prayer and refer to it often. In light of the historic Inauguration today, I wanted to share that prayer here. The artist is unknown, but the message is still true, one year later.

New Years Prayer

Thank you Lord for giving me
The brand new year ahead
Help me live the way I should
As each new day I tread.

Give me gentle wisdom
That I might help a friend
Give me strength and courage
So a shoulder I might lend.

The year ahead is empty
Help me fill it with good things
Each new day filled with joy
And the happiness it brings.

Please give the leaders of our world
A courage born of peace
That they might lead us gently
And all the fighting cease.

Please give to all upon this earth
A heart that's filled with love
A gentle happy way to live
With Your blessings from above.
