United Church of Christ

God of our lives, you are always turning the world upside down, challenging us to follow you into new ventures, new challenges, new ways to care, new ways to touch the hearts of all. When we get tired, or feel disappointed, remind us that you can bring change and hope out of the most difficult situations, so that we may do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with you always. Let this be a year of abundant blessings for all people as we walk in the paths of righteousness. Continue to give us a spirit of hope, peace, love and joy, and help us to spread the good news of your love, grace and mercy among all people. Strengthen us and remind us that all things are possible with you. Amen.
