My Prayer for the New Year (Adapted from a Hallmark Card!)

Lord,

Give us the kindness to hear with compassion, to offer support, loving comfort, and care.
Give us the courage to do what is needed, the wisdom to choose what is right and fair.
Give us the vision to see what is possible.
Give us the faith that will help pave the way for a present that is hopeful, a future that is peaceful—
Give us a heart to bring joy to each day.
