Blessed New Year 2011

Happy and Blessed New Year to all my friends who read this blog. The year 2010 is gone and we are now in the new year. What will 2011 bring? No one except God knows.

NEW YEAR by M Louise Haskins

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year, "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown."

And he replied, "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way."

Prayer:
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in every generation, be our Guide and Desire of life in the days before us.

In this new year, let our lives give evidence of the power of love and the strength of Your Spirit.

Lord free us from fruitless anxieties the result of our lack of faith in You. Our days pass away as grass of the field. Lord, we need You. Be with us and help us to face life with You. Then we know we shall be free from self pity, needless worries and fears.

Bless each one of us as we place the stained pages of our lives before You. Forgive us our sins, our doubts and fears.

Lord we stretch out our hand to you. Hold us, lead us, show us the way as journey through another year. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
