Something forwarded to me by Shirley Choat yesterday:
 
The New Year
(by Hyacinth Kwatashin) 
 
2014 - the New year lies ahead -
Like an empty book, unwritten story -
Lord, I pray my days be spirit-led
With testimonies of Your Love and Glory.
 
May I be sensitive to Your calling - 
Obedient to Your Word and voice
May I walk Your path without falling
Less "feeling" and more by "choice".
 
Guard me against all offenses
That would hinder my walk with You;
To be sincere and avoid pretenses
Keeping my eternal reward in view.
 
May I be slow to judge others
But quick to lend a helping hand.
When stress and trials do bother
On Your promises help me stand.
 
In sickness may I claim Your healing,
In stress or sorrow - Your joy and peace .
Despite circumstances, faith revealing
With strongholds, may I find Your release.
 
When the year ends, and I reflect
On the year right from the start -
May I be able to rejoice in victory
May my life - my story - gladden Your heart.
