A New Year's Prayer

Eternal God,  thank you for bringing me into this new year.  You have helped me to cross the threshold into 2014.  While I don't know what this year will bring, I do know that my time is in your hands.  May I look to you for guidance every step of the way. May I be able to experience the joy that comes from you as well as knowing peace in troubled times.  Help me to see ways I can grow in my discipleship and be a manifestation of Jesus to those who will cross my path this year.  May I offer my whole life as a gift to you and discover how I can be a blessing to others.  Amen.
