How do you begin your day?

Do you ask God’s help to manage each new day, knowing that you would be facing challenges and uncertainties?

Here’s a simple prayer …

Good morning dear Lord, 
Your lovingkindness is so fresh every morning.  Help us to see the beauty of your creations each day … not to take it for granted but to enjoy the rising of the sun, the rain that refreshes the atmosphere, the birds that sing, the flowers that bloomed and the lives you have given to us.

In the hustle and bustle of our daily activities, help us to feel your presence close to us.

When faced with challenges of the day, I pray dear Father for your strength and grace.  Help me to be Your mouthpiece of encouraging someone in distress.  Fill me with Your peace and joy so that whatever circumstances I am in, I will not be shaken but focus on You and Your promises.

Should I wrong someone today, enable me Dear Lord to seek forgiveness from the person and if the adverse happens, help me to forgive and bless those that offended me, not to harbor any bitterness or resentment but to let go and let God.

Guide me Lord in my work today and grant me Your wisdom in everything I do that I may bring glory to your name.

I thank you Lord that You watches over me like a Good Shepherd.  You are my everything.  You are my strength and power source.  Help me see things through Your eyes.  You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

I thank you that You have a plan and purpose for my life.

I commit my day into your hands…  Amen.
