In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
God, the source of eternal light, as this year comes to a close, I rest in your presence confident that your love is my true home.
I know that through every trial you have stood by my side.
You have been with me through every joyful moment and every sorrow, and I know you are with me still.
Thank you for shepherding me through another year of life.
As I enter into a new year, remind me that my identity is not found in achievement, status, or perfect plans, but in belonging to you.
Blessed be the name of the Lord both now and forever.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
