Prayer for the New Year
Topic: New Year Prayer for the New Year Grant me the strength from day to day To bear what burdens come my way. Grant me throughout this bright New Year More to endure and less to fear. Help me live that I may be From spite and petty malice free. Let me not bitterly complain When cherished hopes of mine prove vain, Or spoil with deeds of hate and rage Some fair tomorrow's spotless page. Lord, as the days shall come and go In courage let me stronger grow. Lord, as the New Year dawns today Help me to put my faults away. Let me be big in little things; Grant me the joy which friendship brings. Keep me from selfishness and spite; Let me be wise in what is right. A happy New Year! Grant that I May bring no tear to any eye. When this New Year in time shall end Let it be said I've played the friend, Have lived and loved and labored here, And made of it a happy year. - Edgar A.

To Learn and Use God's Word
Topic: Guidance To Learn and Use God's Word Father, I'm praying that (name one or more) and others in my circle of family and friends will desire to memorize Scripture... Help them meditate on Your Word. Use it to transform and renew their minds, to show them the old they need to put off in their lives and the new truths and ways of life to put on. Help them to see and respect the Bible for the living and active Word i is, able to penetrate hearts and judge a person's thoughts and attitudes. (Psalm 119:78b; Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:22-24; Hebrews 4:12) May they find the discipline to learn Your Word and live by it— and may it keep their lives pure. Help them to live according to Your principles, holding Your Word in their hearts so they won't give in to temptation and sin against You. May they remember and apply Scriptures to their lives, for Your Word will set them free to say no to every temptation. (Psalm 119:9, 11, 112; John 8:32) Help them to know and learn to use the Scriptures as effectively as Jesus did—to defeat Satan by quoting Scripture when he tries to tempt them. Help them be ready, learning verses that will bring victory over the temptations they face and lifting them in prayer like a sword! (Job 22:22; Proverbs 3:1; Matthew 4:1–11; Psalm 119:16; Ephesians 6:17–18) Teach them to depend on Your Word. In Jesus' name, amen. - Jim & Kaye Johns

Dog Owner's Prayer
Topic: Pets Dog Owner's Prayer O Lord don't let me once forget how I love my trusty pet. Help me learn to disregard canine craters in my yard. Show me how to be a buddy even when my sofa's muddy. Don't allow my pooch to munch postal carriers for lunch. Shield my neighbor's cat from view— guide my steps around the doo. Train me not to curse and scowl when it's puppy's night to howl. Grant I shan't awake in fear with a cold nose in my ear. Give me patience without end— Help me be 'A Dog's Best Friend'! - Author Unknown

Christmas Prayer
Topic: Christmas Christmas Prayer Loving Father, Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and worship of the wise men. Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clear hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy to be Thy children, and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen. - Robert Louis Stevenson

Prayer for Those Who Are Depressed
Topic: Despair Prayer for Those Who Are Depressed Heavenly Father, When it seems that we are actually, finally at our wits' end... and we've seen the end of all that we can do, that is when you are at your nearest, your most miraculous, your best. Sometimes, the road we trudge seems destined to be dusty and desolate forever. And yet, just around the corner, just over the next hill, we see new life, we see hope. I pray for this hope for those who [are depressed]. May you bring them what they need, that they may once again be dancing on this earth. Amen. - Beliefnet member Simba590

Tefilat HaDerekh
Topic: Travel Tefilat HaDerekh (Traveler's Prayer) May it be Your will, Hashem, our God and the God of our ancestors, that You lead us toward peace, guide our footsteps toward peace, and make us reach our desired destination for life, gladness, and peace.

May You send blessing in our handiwork, and grant us grace, kindness, and mercy in Your eyes and in the eyes of all who see us.

To Accept Each Other
Topic: Family To Accept Each Other Father, I'm praying for myself and all those in my immediate and extended family (name them)... May we not only love but accept and enjoy each other. May Your love, joy, peace, and patience be at the heart of our relationships with one another, along with Your kindness and goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22–23a) May we encourage each other, and build one another up in every circumstance. (1 Thessalonians 5:11) May we be willing to love each other as unconditionally as You love us, for such love forgives the wrongs of others and makes up for their many personal faults. In love, help us forgive without holding on to anger, resentment, or disappointment. (1 Peter 4:8; Matthew 18:21–22; Ephesians 4:26) May we love and accept one another just as we are, not waiting for change or perfection—as in Christ You have accepted us. Help us be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other as You have forgiven us. (Ephesians 1:5–6; 4:32) Help us not to bring past issues into the present. In Jesus' name, amen. - Jim & Kaye Johns
