A New Year 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.
