New Year's Prayers and Wishes for the Year Ahead
For many people, a new year offers an opportunity for reinvention. Let's pray for increased optimism and faith in the New Year. As we enter 2023, fervently pray for God's mercy and kindness. You can draw nearer to God and maintain your focus on His promises by beginning the New Year with an attitude of appreciation and blessings. Whatever the last year brought, God wants to use it to strengthen your faith.
Prayer is the best way to stay in touch with our God, who created you and wants you to receive gifts and promises in the future. Whatever your New Year's Eve activities are this year, you can use these heartfelt prayers to create a safe environment where you and a friend or family member can concentrate on your resolutions for 2023.
Perhaps you want God to bless this new stage of your life since you are getting married to your partner. Or you may be trying to support a sick family member while they continue their treatment in January. These New Year's prayers address several emotions that come to the surface at the end of the year, but they also remind you that God is always there for you, no matter what the year may bring.
“Divine Love, In every move and change, you are here with us.
We reflect on your profound compassion, presence, and abounding love as we eagerly and maybe a little nervously usher in this new era.
We are grateful for the abilities, skills, and gifts you have given us.
God of all time,
please help us welcome the New Year in peace, reflecting on who we are to ourselves and others and being aware that our words and actions matter. Help us to receive the New Year with reverence, knowing that you have given every animal, plant, person, and habitat beauty and a reason for existing. May we have a gentle perspective on the world.
Give us the strength to start anew, overcome obstacles, and try our best to remain present in the moment. Help us to have the wisdom to seek friends and family for assistance when needed and the patience to understand that starting anew takes time. May we reflect on the past and remember the lessons it taught us as we look to the future. God, may we constantly rely on you for courage and wisdom.
Amen.”
Let this be the year where Jesus and his plan for your life take precedence. Additionally, prayer cards are available for use at your convenience. They are handy, and their presence infuses spiritual strength into our everyday activities. The original intention of prayer cards, developed in the 16th century, was to enable their owners to carry a particular saint with them at all times. Cards could fit inside a pocket to keep the guardian saint close throughout daily struggles. To venerate the saint represented on the card and to seek protection everywhere.
