Don't Start 2026 Without Saying This Prayer A Prayer for the New Year "Divine Presence, as we stand at the threshold of this new beginning, we offer our gratitude for the breath in our lungs and the hope in our hearts. We ask for your grace to light our path in the coming year. For Health and Vitality May this year bring strength to the body and clarity to the mind. We ask for the resilience to overcome illness, the wisdom to nourish our bodies, and the peace to rest when needed. Let every cell be renewed with energy, and may the gift of wellness allow us to serve others with joy. For Safety and Protection We ask for a shield of protection over our homes, our travels, and our loved ones. Be the light that guides us through dark valleys and the anchor that holds us steady in the storm. Keep us safe from harm, both seen and unseen, and let our coming and going be blessed from this day forward. For Peace and Stillness In a world of noise, grant us the peace that surpasses understanding. May harmony dwell within our hearts and flow into our relationships. Soften the edges of conflict, replace anxiety with calm, and let us be instruments of reconciliation in our communities. For Prosperity and Abundance We open our hands to receive the abundance of your provision. Prosper the work of our hands and the dreams of our hearts. May we have more than enough to meet our needs and a surplus to share generously with those in want. Open doors of opportunity that no one can shut, and lead us into a season of fruitfulness. Amen."
