Happy New Year – 2019
Loving God, unseen Companion of our life,
give us faith and eager expectancy as we
begin this fresh stage of our journey.
Take from us all fear of the unknown
and teach us to wrest treasures from darkness
and difficulties. As the days come and go,
may we find that each one is laden with happy
opportunities and enriching experience:
and when this year reaches its completion,
may our best hopes be more than ever fulfilled.
Amen
