12/25 新年的祈禱New Year's Prayer
God, thank you for a new year.
May everyone in our family
be willing to begin anew with a clean slate.
We know that you are always ready to forgive us.
Help us to be willing to forgive ourselves
and to forgive one another.
神啊!為新的一年感謝你,
願我家中每一位都願意有個新鮮、更新的開始;
我們知道你總是預備好要饒恕我們,
請幫助我們也願意饒恕我們自己,並且彼此饒恕。
As we begin a new year,
remind us of our truest values and our deepest desires.
Help us to live in the goodness
that comes from doing what you want us to do.
Help us to put aside anxiety about the future and the past,
so that we might live in peace with you now,
one day at a time.
當我們開始新的一年時,
請提醒我們肯定自己真實的價值,
以及我們最深的渴望。
幫助我們活出良善,去做你要我們做的事;
幫助我們放下面對未來以及想到過去而有的焦慮,
使我們此刻能與你同住在平安中,
一次只管一天就夠了。
