Father God, as we enter this new year,
May it be a year in which You are near to us in every moment.
For we believe in You, Almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth.
Lord Jesus, stay by our side day by day.
We place our faith in You,
the one who is both God and man.
From your birth of a virgin in Bethlehem
to your ministry of healing and of grace,
From Your self-giving death on the cross for us
to Your powerful resurrection and ascension,
We declare that You are Lord,
and we believe in the truth of Your Word.
Holy Spirit, come to us this year
in a thousand different ways.
With Your gentle direction,
Your quiet voice,
and Your wise instruction,
guide us to Jesus and His Word.
Almighty God – Father, Son, and Spirit –
You have gone before us into the new year,
and You call us to join you.
We come in confidence and joy,
loving and trusting You. Amen.
