Our Father and our God, I humbly bow in your presence at the beginning of this New Year.  I thank You for years past and for bringing me and my family into another new year.  I confess my need of Your presence and Your guidance as I face the future.  I ask your forgiveness for my failures and I thank You for turning the pages of my life and washing each day clean. Now, I can write a new story on a fresh new page with new hope and vision for this New Year! I commit this New Year to You, grant that I would love you afresh and serve you more faithfully in this New Year! Thank you for the price that You paid that I always have a chance to begin again with You.  I pray in Jesus Name, and for His glory, Amen.
