A Prayer for a New Year

This prayer was written by Paul P. Bova, back in the olden days (1976):

Almighty and Eternal God, we give Thee thanks for the New Year that has just begun. We pray that we may live each day of this year with great faith, great hope, and great courage...expecting great things and attempting great things.

Help us always to live lives of hope and expectancy. Lead us into new ventures of service, as we are challenged day by day to produce our best.

God bless us, everyone. Amen.
