Prayer for NEW YEAR 2026. By Rev Deacon Patrick Tifu

Heavenly Father, we thank you for helping us see this new year. Grant us a great new year, one filled with good health, peace, joy and an abundance of your grace. May we be powerful instruments to make this messed up world more like heaven is. Help us to love and work for the wellbeing of our brothers and sisters. Give us Lord Jesus, the security and stability that is not based on the mess and chaos of this world but on the fact that You underwent a KENOSIS - a self-emptying of your Divine power, majesty and glory to enter into our messy world as a baby in weakness and humility in order to save us. You lived a life of amazing goodness- no power moves and yet you triumphed. Thank you Lord that in You we have the ultimate victory- Thank You Lord Jesus that in You we have someone to look up to and imitate as we journey to destination heaven. Thank you lord Jesus that in you we don't have to play power games and offer lip service. May we not be people who honour You with their lips yet our hearts are far away from You. Instead help us to be men and women of faith who trust you and honour and worship you with our lives. Give us the grace to be single-minded and focus on you, to please you in all we think, do and say. Help us to empty ourselves to serve you in our brothers and sisters. May we work hard in this new year, not be lazy or spend our time gossiping but to use our talents for the glory of Your name. Holy Spirit of truth, help us to give up our own personal happiness for the sake of others. Help us to suffer well so that others can see how we have joy even in the midst of suffering and come to know and serve You. Help us to not be distracted by the things of this world but keep our eyes, hearts and minds on you throughout this new year. This we ask through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen
