“Gracious Heavenly Father, it is again with grateful hearts that we approach this new year. And we approach Thee and bring to Thee all of our cares of the past, and ask that You’ll put them in the sea of forgetfulness, and remember our sins against us no more. And may not only we check up with our spiritual being, but in our…may we check our fellowship with Thee. And forgive us of all of our sins. And we ask that Your Spirit will deal with us tonight. And if there be any unclean thing about us, Lord, take it as far as the east is from the west. Cast it into the sea of forgetfulness, to remember it against us no more, that we might enter into this new year, clean, washed by the Blood of the Lamb, and be ready.” WMB
