New Year’s Prayers: Thank you Father, that you are the God of new beginnings. At the start of another year, we give ourselves to you afresh and ask that you would renew our hearts. Throughout 2009, may we learn to love you more deeply and to serve you more effectively.

New Year’s Prayers: Pray for the staff team at CMS Ireland, working in the offices in Dublin and Belfast and developing partnerships with churches and Global Partners. Pray that God would bless each member of the team and that, together, they would help people to engage more deeply in mission.
