God,
For all the possibilities ahead in this new year make us thankful, O
Lord. Give us wisdom, courage, and discernment in the face of so much
chaos, despair, and fear. Help us to see how, in our circumstances,
we can contribute toward peace, faith, and love. And give us the will
to translate our desires into actions. Amen.
