A Blessing for Endings & Beginnings by Kayla Craig
May the Creator of time and Keeper of Seasons give you space to process the paths that got you here so that you may have vision for what lies ahead. In the coming year, may you remember that you are held, known, and loved by a God of fresh starts and clean slates. May you receive the gifts of mercies new each morning, and as you approach 2023, may you know deep within your soul that you don’t have to wait for a new year to begin again. In this new year, may the Lord bless you and keep you. And may all your life, your fantastic, messy, holy life, be a prayer.
