A New Year’s Prayer
Need a prayer for the New Year? Here’s a great one:
Psalm 119:33-40
33 Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees;
then I will keep them to the end.34 Give me understanding, and I will keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.35 Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight.36 Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not toward selfish gain.37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word.38 Fulfill your promise to your servant,
so that you may be feared.39 Take away the disgrace I dread,
for your laws are good.40 How I long for your precepts!
Preserve my life in your righteousness.
