Prayer at the start of a New Year

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; 

and lean not unto thine own understanding. 

In all thy ways acknowledge him, 

and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:5

                             Prayer at the start of a New Year

 “Dear Lord may we never stray,

But heed Thy Word from day to day.

Ever eager more to learn,

That we may Thy will discern.

Light to safely show the way,

Instructing how to live and pray.

An Anchor in the storms of life,

A comfort true in times of strife,

Truth to keep us lest we wander,

Precious things on which to ponder.

Revelation sweet and clear

Bringing our Saviour Jesus near.

Showing us the wrong within,

Teaching us to hate all sin,

Showing us Christ the Lamb was slain

Whose blood cleanses every stain.

True joy to cheer the saddest heart

And courage to the faint impart.

Reading prayerfully each day,

As we travel on life’s way.

Among Thy faithful people found,

We’ll grow in grace, in love abound.

Safe dear Father in Thy care

Confidently we enter another year"

S Hirst 

"Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD,

and whose hope the LORD is. 

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, 

and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, 

and shall not see when heat cometh, 

but her leaf shall be green; 

and shall not be careful in the year of drought, 

neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

 

Jeremiah 17:8 

“Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: 

and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, 

and a book of remembrance was written before him 

for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.”

Macachi 3:16

There's a song in my Heart for the Lord is my God,

My Saviour, my joy day and night,

So precious and dear, I never need fear,

For He's turned my darkness to light!

Hallelujah, hallelujah, through heaven and earth

The song of the ransomed shall ring,

For those who are washed in the blood of the Lamb

Forever His praises shall sing.

S Hirst

“Family prayer is the greatest deterrent to sin, 

and hence the most beneficent provider of joy and happiness. 

The old saying is yet true: 

‘The family that prays together stays together.’”

Thomas S. Monson

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

Psalm 119:115

Trusting God's Word you'll be safely led,

As you walk with Jesus through the year ahead!
