New Year 2020

Happy New Year Everyone! Alex's is still on hiatus for vacation and preparation for the addition to the family, but never fear, there will be at least one prepped article posting for the next couple of weeks to get you excited about things to come in the new year! Below is a modernized prayer the new year that is taken from the Valley of Vision.

O Lord,

Length of days does not profit me

     except the days are passed in your presence,

     in your service, to your glory.

Give me grace that precedes, follows, guides,

     sustains, sanctifies, aids every hour,

that I may not be one moment apart from you,

but may rely on your Spirit

     to supply every thought,

     speak in every word,

     direct every step,

     prosper every work,

     build up every mote of faith,

and give me a desire

     to show forth your praise;

     testify your love,

     advance your kingdom.

I launch my bark on the unknown waters 

     of this year,

     with you, O Father, as my harbour,

     you, O Son, at my helm,

     you, O Holy Spirit, filling my sails

Guide me to heaven with my loins girt,

     my lamp burning

     my ear open to your calls.

     my heart full of love,

     my soul free.

Give me your grace to sanctify me,

     your comforts to cheer,

     your wisdom to teach,

     your right hand to guide,

     your counsel to instruct,

     your law to judge,

     your presence to stabilize.

May your fear be my awe,

     your triumphs my joy.

Amen

Grace and Peace,
Alex Galvez
