A New Blessed Beginning Prayer
Almighty God*, Source of breath and Sustainer of life,
Now and always, I seek for Your new, fresh, rejuvenating favor.
Earnestly along Your guidance, I beg for Your assured triumph
Wrought by Your workmanship while I worship You, exalting Your name.
Brace up my faith, as I wish the best for all, including my enemies
Led by Your love’s light to let me forgive and then forget their wrongdoings
Enable me, please, to serve You by Your grace as I reach-out to them.
Saved by Your blood of wondrous sacrifice, I ask that You redeem their souls
Sanctify them through Your imparted righteousness
Enrich them with Your provisions’ of supply-abundance
Drive them toward Your heart with serenity.
Bless them with Your bountiful benefits
Enable them while empowering them to do right.
Grant them wisdom, knowledge, and discretion in dealing with oppositions
Instill in them kindness and understanding to be at peace with foes.
Nourish them so then can befriend those adversaries
Nurture them spiritually while they offer pardon to persecutors
Inspire and influence them with Your Word to win over frustration-causes.
Never give up on me and on them as we acknowledge our frailties.
God, we esteem YOU: You’re our everything; without You, we're nothing.
*Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God…
