​​Prayer for January 2025

​

Lord guide us

As we set out on another year’s journey

 

Sometimes, Lord, our courage fails us

 and we grope forwards,

• not sure of the road ahead,

• the mists of anxiety and cynicism clouding our minds  

and

• we lose our direction.

 

Lord,

• let us sit beside you by the road and rest from time to time

• let the warm sun of your love break through our bewilderment    

so that

• we may sure again of your care for us.

and

• understand that wherever we are headed, you go with us.

 

Stay with us,

• lighten our minds,

• warm our hearts.

Give us

• direction

• strength to follow where you lead

and

• joy on the journey

 

Above all, here, now, let us know that you walk beside us into this new year.
