Prayer for Blessings in the Year Ahead
Father, thank you for your great love and blessing over our lives and that your favour has no end, but it lasts for our entire lifetime. Forgive us for sometimes forgetting that you are intimately acquainted with all of our ways, that you know what concerns us, and you cover us as with a shield. We ask that we walk in your blessing and goodness today. That your face would shine on us. That you would open the right doors for our lives and for our loved ones, that you would close the wrong doors and protect us from those we need to walk away from. Establish the work of our hands and bring to fulfilment all that you have given us to do in these days. We pray that you would make our way purposeful and our footsteps firm out of your goodness and love. Give us a heart of wisdom to hear your voice and make us strong by your favour and grace. In Jesus' name, Amen.
I pray God's blessing on each one of you as we move into 2021. A happy and blessed and healthy New Year.
Fr Geoff
