My New Year Prayer For All

May I see the world around me
Thru’ the eyes of the Holy Spirit
To view only the beauty of God’s earth

May I lift my hands in worship 
May the the Holy Spirit 
give these hands a healing touch.

May I not linger on cries of woe around me
May the Holy Spirit hear them thru' my ears
Turning them to sounds of joy

May my words to others
be kind and soothing
As the Holy Spirit speaks thru' my mouth

May I step in the right direction
Never faltering on the way
May the Holy Spirit guide my steps
Throughout each  glorious day.
