Prayer for a New Year

Heavenly Father, as we begin this New Year, we place our lives, our hopes, and our intentions into Your loving hands. Grant us the grace to walk closer with Your Son, Jesus Christ, and to remain open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Heal our wounds, strengthen our faith, and help us to trust in Your providence in every joy and trial to come. Mary, Mother of God, watch over us and lead us ever closer to Your Son. Saint Joseph, protector and guardian, pray for us as we seek wisdom, peace, and courage. Lord, make this New Year a year of grace, a year of mercy, and a year of blessing. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
