The Morning Prayer
Sunday, December 31, 2023

In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.
Psalm 102:25–27 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, as the dawn of this New Year's Eve breaks, we come before You, mindful of Your unchanging grace and eternal glory. In Psalm 102, we are reminded of how the heavens and earth may wear out like a garment, but You, O Lord, remain the same, steadfast through all generations.

In this moment of quiet reflection, we acknowledge the fleeting nature of our lives and the world around us. The past year has been a tapestry of joy and sorrow, triumphs and trials. Through it all, Your love has been our unwavering anchor.

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, we seek Your wisdom and guidance. May we embrace the changes and challenges ahead, secure in the knowledge that You are our constant companion. Help us to live each day with purpose, compassion, and faith, reflecting Your eternal light in our transient world.

Thank you for being our rock and fortress. As the year turns, may our hearts remain centered on You, the unchangeable Creator, whose years will never end. Bless us, our loved ones, and all Your creation, as we step into the New Year with hope and gratitude.

In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.

May this prayer bring you comfort and guide you throughout your day.
