A prayer for the New Year and beyond (based on Psalm 23)

December 29, 2019 / 0 Comments

The Lord is my shepherd;

I have everything I need.

He gives me rest in lush meadows,

he leads me beside peaceful streams,

he renews my life.

He brings honor to his name,

by guiding me along the right paths.

Even when I walk through the darkest valley,

I fear no danger,

for you are close beside me;

your rod and your staff reassure me.

You prepare a royal banquet for me,

in full view of my oppressors.

You drench my head with perfumed olive oil;

my cup overflows with blessings.

Surely your goodness and constant love will pursue me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the Lord’s house forever.
