New Year – New Journey – 5th January 2025
Listen to this new year message and use the Covenant Prayer below
Almighty God
I am no longer my own but yours. Your will, not mine, be done in all things, wherever you may place me,
In all that I do and in all that I may endure; when there is work for me and when there is none; when I am troubled and when I am at peace. Your will be done:
when I am valued and when I am disregarded, when I find fulfilment and when it is lacking; when I have all things and when I have nothing. I willingly offer all that I have and am to serve you, as and where you choose.
Glorious God,
You are mine and I am yours. May it be so for ever. Let this covenant now made on earth be fulfilled in heaven. Amen
