Grant us the strength to forgive and to embrace new beginnings with open hearts. May this New Year be a time of renewal, growth, and transformation.
Lord, we ask for Your blessing on the year ahead. May it be filled with joy, peace, and prosperity. Help us to remain steadfast in our faith, trusting in Your plan for our lives. May we seek Your presence in every decision and action, knowing that with You by our side, we can overcome any obstacle.
As we conclude this prayer, we lift our voices in gratitude and praise. Thank You for Your unwavering love and faithfulness. We commit this meal, this gathering, and the New Year into Your hands, trusting that You will lead us on the path You have set before us.
