Prayer

God of the new,

When we worry that our moment has past and it’s too late to make a difference, encourage us in the knowledge that even the simplest action today can reveal our profound hope for tomorrow. In recognition of Chinese New Year, empower us with focus and ambition today, that we may be more faithful collaborators with you in securing the health and well-being of all. Through simple daily commitments to serve one another and care for creation, may we embody our hope for tomorrow. Amen.

Celebrate the new beginning that today represents. It is never too late to make a difference in the lives of others or in the wider creation.
