Prayer for a New Year of Peace, Beauty and Love – December 29, 2019

by Leave a Comment

God – As I begin a New Year please help me find renewed peace, beauty and love within me.  At the moment of my creation You ensouled my body with a perfect spirit.  In prayer please help me reconnect with that Holy Spirit.  May the last day of this year be the ending of disquietude, drama, self-consciousness and not loving myself as You do. For me to find peace in the world, I must first know and contemplate Your heavenly peace through prayer and worship.  For me to see the beauty in others, I must not be blind to the beauty You created in me and all Your children.  For me to know and share Your love with others, I must fully embrace the faith that the love of Your Son, Jesus, dwells in me and all Your creation.  Amen.

New Year’s Prayer for Americans to Ask What God Would Have Us Do – December 31, 2018.

by 1 Comment

Lord – As I prepare to step into 2019 and leave 2018, I thank You for the innumerable blessings and love from You and others I received. I have never been more grateful for the past nor more hopeful in my walk of faith in service to You in the future.

Yet, my heart is gravely troubled at the divisions and indecisiveness which currently exist in our Nation. At times the problems we face in America seem insurmountable. I do not proclaim to have the answers or the directions we must take to restore trust in government or for our government to better serve its people. I do not know how to balance supporting our military at home and abroad against the cost of being the defenders of democracy in the world, or how to honor America’s humanitarian obligation to give refuge to immigrants fleeing from persecution or inhumane living conditions while still protecting our borders, or  how to staunchly advocate liberal or conservative ideals and yet be willing to compromise for the benefit of America as a whole, or how to maintain the proper balance between the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary Branches of government, or how to make sure America takes care of itself and its own needs and at the same time shoulders a sufficient amount of care for its loyal allies.

So, God, as our elected leaders, government employees, members of the military and all other citizens of the Great Nation Under You, Our God, face each challenge in the year ahead, I pray that every day we each say a prayer and ask, “God, what You would have us do?”   For then, the actions taken or not taken would be more in line with Your will and Your ways on the Earth as well as in heaven. Amen

by 4 Comments

Heavenly Father, Praise to You for the birth of your most precious Son, Jesus Christ. In Him Your Word was made Flesh. He was mortal as all humankind. Yet because of His death and resurrection, I may have eternal life with You. As I begin the New Year, God, please help me to be reborn and have renewed life in Your Son, Jesus Christ. May I dwell in Him as He dwells in me all the days of the coming year. Amen
