Prayer for a New Year

clocksAnother day, another month, another year, another opportunity to be resolute in all things good and righteous . . . Dear Lord, help me and others to do your will and draw closer to you in the coming year. “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat.” ~Shakespeare
