Pray With Me
Father, thank You for the gift of another day. Before I give my attention to responsibilities, messages, plans, or problems, I turn my heart toward You.
Lead me today. Give me wisdom for the decisions I need to make, patience with the people I meet, and courage to do what is right even when it is inconvenient. Guard my thoughts from fear, distraction, pride, and discouragement. Help me notice the people who need kindness, encouragement, or prayer.
I surrender my schedule to You. Some things will go as planned and others will not, but I do not want my peace to depend on circumstances. Teach me to trust You in both the ordinary moments and the unexpected ones.
Let my words bring life. Let my work be done with integrity. Let my choices reflect the faith I profess. When I become hurried, remind me that You are near. When I feel weak, help me depend on Your strength instead of pretending I can carry everything on my own.
Thank You for Your mercy that is new every morning. I receive this day as a gift and place it back into Your hands.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
