New Year
A New Year Prayer
A New Year Prayer
This is the time in which a new year will soon be born from the time of Christ. I have perfect faith in you to do all that you would accomplish. Nothing will be lacking, and you will make complete and not destroy. Say, then, to your brother:
as part of myself.
I know that you will be released,
unless I want to use you
to imprison myself.
In the name of my freedom,
I choose your release
because I recognize that we will be released together.
So will the year begin
in joy and freedom.
There is much to do,
and we have been long delayed.
Accept the holy instant as this year is born,
and take your place,
so long left unfulfilled in the Great Awakening.
Make this year different
by making it all the same.
And let all your relationships be
made holy for you.
This is our will.
Amen.
