New Year's Prayer/Poem

This prayer/poem is an excellent follow up on the preceding blog because it's about giving meaning to your life. It comes from Donna McDine's website. I consider Donna a wonderful writer and friend. The more you know about Donna, the better off you will be as a writer and person. Please check the poem out and her site. It's a great way to start your New Year. Her site is listed below the inspirational poem.

O God of new beginnings and wonderful surprises,

thank you for the gift of a new year.

May it be a time of grace for me,

a time to grow in faith and love,

a time to renew my commitment

to following Your Son, Jesus.

May it be a year of blessing for me,

a time to cherish my family and friends,

a time to renew my efforts at work,

a time to embrace my faith more fully.

Walk with me, please, in every day

and every hour of this new year,

that the light of Christ might shine through me,

in spite of my weaknesses and failings.

Above all, may I remember this year that

I am a pilgrim on the sacred path to You.

Amen
