Prayer for the New Year

Lord God, Creator of all visible and invisible things! Creator, You have established times and years: now also bless the beginning of the New Year, which we count from Your Incarnation for our salvation. Bless us to spend this year and many years after it in peace and harmony with our neighbors; strengthen and expand Your Holy, Conciliar and Universal, Orthodox and Apostolic Church, which You founded and sanctified and gave life to by the salvific sacrifice on the Calvary cross.

Renew and raise up our homeland—spiritually, culturally and materially, with protection and glory; grant us longevity, health, abundance of the earth's fruits and a good journey; me, an imperfect and sinful servant and at the same time—Your beloved Son, all my relatives and neighbors and all sincere and faithful Christians—as our true Supreme Shepherd and High Priest—watch over, protect, and guide us on the gracious and salvific path, that we, steadfastly walking it, after a long and happy life in this world, may attain Your Heavenly Kingdom and be granted eternal bliss with all Your saints. Amen.
