New Year’s Prayer

Posted on by

Another year is dawning
With the chance to start anew.
May I be kinder, wiser, Lord,
In all I say and do.

Not so caught up in selfish gain
That I would fail to see
The things in life that mean the most
Cost not a fancy fee.

The warm, kind word that I can give,
The outstretched hand to help,
The prayers I pray for those in need–
More precious these than wealth.

I know not what may lie ahead
Of laughter or of tears;
I only need to know each day
That You are walking near.

I’m thankful for this brand new year
As now I humbly pray,
My hand secure in Yours, dear Lord,
Each step along the way.

  3. “I know not what may lie ahead.” So true. If I’d known what this year would have held, I’d have worried. But God unrolled it step by step and provided for all needs.

    Good thoughts. Thanks.

  4. Hi Barbara,
    The photo collages that I do are all done through picasa. It was a free upload and their new Picasa 3 has more collage options…
    I hope that helps,
