O God, on this night, we stand at the threshold of time, carrying within us all that has passed — joys we thank You for, and wounds we lay before You without fear
Teach us to surrender what we cannot change, and to trust that You are present even in what we do not yet understand
Tonight, we choose not to carry the weight of yesterday, but the wisdom it gave us, and we place our burdens gently in Your hands
Bless the time to come our uncertain steps, and our dreams still searching for their way
May the new year be a space for growth of heart, clarity of intention, and courage to love
We place the future in your hands, not because we know it, but because we trust You
