Sufi Prayer for the New Year

by Hazrat Inayat Khan,

the teacher who brought Sufism

to the West in the early 1900's

O Thou, Who abidest in our hearts,

Most Merciful and Compassionate God,

Lord of Heaven and Earth,

We forgive others their trespasses

And ask Thy forgiveness of our shortcomings.

We begin the New Year with pure heart

And clear conscience,

With courage and hope.

Help us to fulfill the purpose of our lives

Under Thy Divine Guidance.

Amen.
