Loving Father, Beloved Son, Holy Spirit.

We praise you for sharing yourself with us in the person of Jesus of Nazareth and stepping into history.

Your silent suffering on the cross shouts your love into our fallen world.

Thank you for modeling a perfect life; bearing our sins on the cross; and granting us resurrection peace.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Almighty God. We praise you for creating the heavens and the earth; creating all that is, was, or will ever be; and creating things seen and unseen.

We look on the order and beauty of your creation and break forth singing your praises.

Grant us strength for each new day to reflect your goodness in joyful praise to those around us.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Merciful father, Light of the World, Spirit of Truth,

Thank you for the gift of life, time to enjoy, and the many blessings that we take for granted.

Forgive us for our wasting of your gifts, for the sins that we willfully commit, and for the good things that we forget to do.

Have mercy on us.

Cast out the demons that torment us, the desires that demean us, and spirits that hide us from the truth.

Be especially near.

Help us to reflect on our weaknesses, our sinful behavior, and our neglectful hearts.

Grant us strength to meet the challenges of the new year and the grace to extend our blessings to those around us.

In Jesus’s precious name, Amen.

Heavenly Father.

We praise you for shepherding us and resting with us in lush gardens.

Feed our hungering and thirsting souls as we confront sickness and death.

Shelter us in your strong arms as we shelter the weak among us.

Prosper us in righteousness as we model your love to those around us.

Grant us your mercy through the storms of life until you lead us home (Ps 23).

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
