In the New Year

In the new year, I will live one day at a time. I will make each day one of preparation for better things ahead. I will not dwell on the past or the future, only on the present. I will bury every fear of the future, all thoughts of unkindness and bitterness, all my dislikes, my resentments, my sense of failure, my disappointments in others and in myself, my gloom and despondency. I will leave all these things buried and go forward, in this new year, into a new life.
  • I pray that God, as I understand Him, will guide me one day at a time in the new year. I pray that for each day He will supply the wisdom and the strength that I need.

(Alan L. Roeck, Look To This Day, 1 January)
