New Year Prayer for 2024 - A Prayer for Surrender in God
As 2023 comes to a close, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on the year’s graces — what God set in your path, what triumphs you overcame, what friendships you grew, what goals you exceeded, and so much more. Ending the year with a grateful heart is a fantastic way to enter a new year of life. To help you with that transition, here is a New Year prayer to share with friends and family, meditate on, incorporate into your daily prayers, or write down in your journal as intentions for 2024.
There's nothing that brings about hope for change and new beginnings quite like the transition from one year to the next. That's why we set New Year's resolutions, after all! Come 2024, you might have goals of focusing on your physical or mental health, working on your finances, or improving relationships in your life. But as we bid farewell to the old and welcome the possibilities of the future, there's no better time to turn to the power of prayer. Because no matter your own plan for the year, God's plan is better!
Here's a prayer for surrender in God, to help you begin the next year with a renewed sense of faith and hope for what He has in store for you.
Prayer:
Father, I abandon myself into your hands.
Do with me whatever you will. Whatever you may do, I thank you.
I am ready for all, I accept all. Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures.
Into your hands I commend my spirit. I offer it to you with all the love that is in my heart.
For I love you, Lord, and so want to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands, without reserve and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father.
Amen.
— Charles de Foucauld
