Heavenly Father,

As we step into this new year,

We come before you with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of life and the blessings you have poured over us.

Thank you for your steadfast love and faithfulness that carried us through the past year.

Father,

We surrender this year into your hands,

Guide our steps,

And help us to trust in your perfect plan for our lives.

May we walk in your wisdom,

Lean on your strength,

And reflect your light in all that we do.

Teach us to embrace each moment with grace,

To seek you in both joy and challenges,

And to trust that you are working all things for our good.

As we set new goals and dream new dreams,

Align our desires with your will so that our lives bring glory to your name.

Father,

Grant us the grace to forgive what lies behind,

To let go of any burdens we carry,

And to step forward with hope and courage.

Fill our hearts with your peace that surpasses all understanding,

And renew our spirits with your joy.

Bless this new year with your presence,

Lord.

Be the foundation of our days,

The anchor in our storms,

And the light that guides us forward.

We dedicate this year to you,

Trusting that your goodness will be our strength and your mercy will never fail.

In Jesus' name we pray,

Amen.
