With God’s help
I affirm that in 2008, I intend to
bring:-
Harmony
in place of discord
Opportunities
out of challenges
Praise
instead of criticism
Encouragement to replace despair.
We affirm that in our Church, 2008
will be a year of:-
Holiness
and wholeness
One
purpose for many people
Prayer
that leads to action
Everyone finding a place to belong.
We pray that for our community,
2008 will be a year of:-
Healing
for those who are broken
Order
where there is chaos
Protection
for the vulnerable
Enterprise for all.
We pray for our nation, that 2008
will be a year of:-
Health
of body mind and spirit
Open-hearted
attitudes
Passion
for justice and mercy
Expectations and visions fulfilled.
We pray that The God of all Hope
will give us the faith and
courage to live lives that will release HOPE this year.
I make this declaration and pray
this prayer in the name
of Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord.
Amen.
