The beginning of a new year is a wonderful time to pause and reflect. This New Year’s prayer coloring page gives kids a simple and meaningful way to thank God for the past year and look forward to the year ahead. As children color each star, they are guided through a gentle prayer that encourages gratitude, trust, and faith in God.

Why a Prayer for New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is a natural moment to reflect and reset. A simple prayer helps kids slow down and recognize God’s presence in both the past year and the year ahead. Praying together on New Year’s Eve encourages gratitude, builds faith, and reminds children that God will guide them through every new beginning.

New Year’s Eve Prayer

The prayer on this coloring page is written specifically with children in mind. It uses simple language and focuses on gratitude, guidance, kindness, and trust in God. Each line of the prayer appears inside a star, giving kids time to reflect as they color.

The prayer reads:

“Dear God,
Please help me as I start a new year.
Thank You for this past year and all the fun, learning, and blessings I have received.
Guide me to make good choices and follow You every day.
Help me be kind, brave, and loving to others.
Thank You for always being with me, and for all the adventures You have planned.”

This prayer encourages kids to look back with thankfulness and look forward with trust. It gently reinforces values like kindness, courage, and making good choices, while reminding children that God is always with them. Coloring each part of the prayer allows kids to slow down and truly engage with the words, rather than rushing through them.
