Enotes Circles and Spaces: A Prayer for the New Year |
We thank you, God,
for this year
past
joys and sorrows
achievements and
failures
growth and
loss
We offer you
all we have done
and all we've left
undone
who we have become
and
who we never will
be
We thank you,
God
for this new
year
hope and
fears
potential and
challenge
what will happen to
us
and what we'll make
of it
We offer
you
all we'll
do
and all we'll leave
undone
who we'll become
and
how we will not
change
We resolve to
live
in circles of
gathering
in the sacred
space
you hold for
us
large
circles
of
community
small
circles
of
relationships
everyone in the
circle
no one without a
circle
We hold
spaces
in the
circles
of our lives
for others to
grow
and
live
and
become
who they
are
spaces for
us
to
grow
and
live
and become
who we
are
We are
free
persons
families
churches
free to create
our
future
become
what we
want to be
who we
want to
be
Life is learning
to want
the best
for
us
We look
at each
other
we
look
in ourselves
to catch
a reflection
of
God
we pay attention
to these
reflections
and mirror
the life
of God
in our life
in our life
together
and that knowledge
guides our choices
and gives shape
to our
dreams
Thanks for continuing to bless me as
we journey together. Jack Price
