Magnificent God … 

Creator of our world, our nation, our community.  Powerful Creator of each of us and bestower of breath, of life, of love.

We humbly bow our heads before You and seek Your presence in the new year of 2021.  We have so many burdens on our hearts, Lord, and we empty them at the cross where we are cleansed and renewed and redeemed.

Father, we ask for patience for ___________. May your perfect timing be acknowledged as your plans unfold.

In name of Jesus we pray, we trust, and we wait.  Amen.
