It's hard to celebrate when we are grieving -- but this prayer seemed appropriate to post here in honor of the new year upcoming:
Lord, make the new year a happy one...
Not by shielding us from sorrow and pain,
but by strengthening us to bear it if it comes
Not by taking hardship from us,
but by taking all cowardice and fear from our hearts as we meet hardships.
Not by making our paths easy,
but by making us sturdy enough to tread any path.
Not by granting us unbroken sunshine,
but by keeping our faces bright even in the shadows.
Not by making our lives always pleasant,
but by showing us where others and your cause need us the most
and by making us zealous to be there and to help....
God, Please Make Our Year a Happy One.
