God, thanks in advance for all the blessings you are going to bestow on my family, friends and myself in the coming years and for all the past blessings we have already received.

God, help me to be a better man tomorrow than I was today and forgive my shortcoming of which there are so many. Help me to be more understanding and forgiving of others and to suffer fools lightly because they can not help themselves.

God, lead me to someone in need and provide me with the means to relieve their distress. Help me to live in such a way as to fulfill the saying, "I am my brother's keeper" and mean it.
