-- John 12:46
I have come into the world as a Light,
so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.


+* +* +* +* +* +* +*

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
"Give me the light that I may tread safely into the unknown."
And he replied:
"Go into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way."

-- Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by Prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, Present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Dear Lord,

In the New Year, we Pray
that You will guide us each new day
in paths that are pleasing to You.
Lord, the New Year gives us another chance
to rededicate our lives to You,
to study Your Word
so that we know right from wrong
and to act in accordance with Your Commands.
Thank You for the sense of
direction, purpose and peace we get
from aligning our lives with Your Holy Will.

We Pray for the strength and the will to obey You
each and every day of the New Year,
and when we fail, we Pray for Your Mercy,
Your Compassion, Your Grace and Your Love.
Help us in the New Year to be Your faithful servants.

In Jesus’ name we Pray, Amen.

-- J. Fuchs




-- 1 John 2:5-6
5 But those who obey God’s Word really do love Him. That is the way to know whether or not we live in Him. 6 Whoever claims to live in God must walk as Jesus Christ did.

"A New Year's"

Instead of making a New Year's resolution
Consider committing to a Biblical solution
Your promises are easily broken
Empty words, though earnestly spoken
But God's Word transforms the soul
By His Holy Spirit making you whole
As you spend time alone with Him
He will change you from within

-- M. Fairchild




-- Ephesians 4:32
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.

-- Ephesians 5:1-2
1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, 2 and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

"New Year Prayer"

God grant us this year a wider view,
So we see others' faults through the eyes of You.
Teach us to judge not with hasty tongue,
Neither the adult ... nor the young.

Give us patience and grace to endure
And a stronger faith so we feel secure.
Instead of remembering, help us forget
The irritations that caused us to fret.

Freely forgiving for some offense
And finding each day a rich recompense.
In offering a friendly, helping hand
And trying in all ways to understand;

That all of us whoever we are ...
Are trying to reach an unreachable star.
For the great and small ... the good and bad,
The young and old ... the sad and glad

Are asking today; Is life worth living?
The answer is only in, loving and giving.
For only Love can make man kind
And Kindness of Heart brings Peace of Mind.

By giving love, we can start this year
To lift the clouds of hate and fear.

-- H. Steiner Rice




-- Jeremiah 29:11-13
11 For I know the Plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, Plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon Me and come and Pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.

"Happy New Year"

I am the "NEW YEAR."
I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.
I am your next chance at the art of living.

I am your opportunity
to practice what you have learned during
the last twelve months about life.

All that you sought the past year
and failed to find is hidden in Me;
I am waiting for you to search it out
again and with more determination.

All the good that you tried to do
for others and didn't achieve last year
is Mine to grant -- providing you have
fewer selfish and conflicting desires.

In Me lies the potential
of all that you dreamed but didn't
dare to do, all that you hoped
but did not perform.

All you Prayed for
but did not yet experience -
these dreams slumber lightly,
waiting to be awakened by the touch
of an enduring purpose -

I am your opportunity
to renew your allegiance to Him who said,
"behold, I make all things new." (Rev. 21:5)
I am the NEW YEAR.

-- 2 Corinthians 5:7, 17-18
7 We live by Faith, not by sight.

++ 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a New creation;
the old has gone, the New has come!
18 All this Newness of life is from God, who brought us back to Himself through what Christ did. And God has given us the task of reconciling people to Him.

"New Life"

A New Year,
A New Life.
Free from worry,
Free from strife.
When you have faith to
Turn your life over to God;
There are no limits, He is
Your strength and your everlasting rod.
To be one is His grace,
His truth and His peace;
To live each day to serve Him
And give complete release.

Nothing can compare to
His precious gift;
Of life eternal through our dear Savior He did lift.
High above us is He as we await His return;
To take us all home
With His gentle, loving concern.
He guides and protects us
Like no other friend;
Seek His forgiveness,
And you shall have no end!
He will never let you down
Or turn you away.

He loves you without judgment,
Even if you’ve been led astray.
So enter God’s kingdom,
Begin to do your good works.
And know in your heart
That doubt no longer lurks.
Be happy, give thanks
And believe in His Love;
You’re now a free spirit,
You’re God’s precious dove!
Trust in His strength,
His hope and His joy;
Let nothing stand in your way of your new life…..ENJOY!

-- T. L. Cuny




-- Jude 1:20
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most Holy Faith and Pray in the Holy Spirit.

-- Matthew 26:41
Watch and Pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.

-- Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

-- Philippians 3:12-16
12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; But one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Let those of us then who are mature be of the same mind; and if you think differently about anything, this too God will reveal to you. 16 But we must be sure to obey the Truth we have learned already.

-- Mark 11:24-25
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in Prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand Praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

-- John 15:5
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; For without Me you can do nothing.

-- James 4:13-15
13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that."

-- Galatians 6:9-10
9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

-- Jeremiah 33:3
‘Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’


-- Isaiah 55:6-11
6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call on Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.

8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is My Word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."


-- Lamentations 3:22-26
22 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; 23 They are New every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 25 The LORD is good to those whose Hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; 26 it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.

-- Psalms 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song.

It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; Give thanks to Him and praise His name. 5 For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.

-- Psalms 51:10
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

-- Isaiah 40:31
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
