My New Year's Prayer

This prayer, adaptation of "The New Year" by Martha Snell Nicholson, touched me and it is applicable for me, very literally!

"Dear Lord, as this new year is born
I give it to Thy hand
Content to walk by faith what paths
I cannot understand.

Whatever coming days may bring
Of bitter loss, or gain
Or every crown of happiness
Should sorrow come, or pain.

I only ask, loose not my hand
Grip fast my soul, and be
My guiding light upon the path
Till, blind no more, I see!"
