Our Lord and God -
As we turn toward a new year, strengthen our protections and bless our children. Grant us peace and fill us with the finest wheat.
May the commands and word that You send cover the earth and run swiftly in our lives. Declare Your word, statues, and ordinances to Your people.
As we turn toward a new year, may we remember that You alone hold power. You give snow, scatter frost, and hurl down hail. You make the winds blow and the waters flow.
May our winters and our icy hearts melt as we stand before You and Your power. Make Your ordinances known to us.
In the name of the One whom we praise, we pray.
Amen.
