New Year Prayer


As yet another year unfolds,
I ask You Lord, that I
May simply follow where You lead,
And not ask where or why.

I thank you that my life you've spared
Another year to see;
Help me to live each day you give,
Dear Lord, most usefully.

Give me a conscience that is clear,
And let my thoughts be pure;
And should I suffer for what's right,
Give courage to endure.

Let me not fear what lies ahead,
Nor seek an easy way,
But rest on Your abiding grace,
To guide me through each day.
