A prayer for the new year...

Loving God,

Give me compassion for all
Compassion even to those who hurt me

Give me the words to speak truth
Truth to all in the words they need to hear

Give me passion to live for your Kingdom
Passion strong enough that nothing will quinch it

Give me your eyes for the world
So that I might see it as you do

Give me your unending love
So that I might share it with others

Thank you that through your amazing, unending grace
you have already given me this and more

May your Spirit guide me to live it
Amen
