1st January

Loving God as yesterday we prayed for the year which is behind us today we pray for the year ahead of us.

May we, in all the things we have planned, always place you at the centre.

In the things which “just happen” may we see your hand at work, guiding us into a deeper relationship with you.

In the good things which will happen, may we celebrate with you.

In the things we hoped would not happen, may we be aware of your arms of love holding us close to you and keeping us safe.

Lord you are our rock and refuge and we build our faith on that firm foundation. Amen
