Good morning,
O Lord.
As I start this new day,
I come before you with gratitude and joy.
Thank you for your faithfulness in giving me another day of life to serve and honor you.
I acknowledge that this day is a gift,
And I do not take it for granted.
O God,
I pray that you will fill me with your most holy and divine spirit.
Empower me to reflect your love,
Your kindness,
Your patience,
And goodness to everyone I interact with today.
Please grant me discernment to see opportunities to serve and bless others.
Guard my heart against pride or selfishness.
Help me to put others first.
I pray for your hand of protection over me today.
Keep me safe as I travel to and from work or other places.
Shield me from any accidents or harm.
Guide my conversations and decisions today,
Big and small.
Open doors of opportunity for me,
O dear God.
Open doors of opportunity to shine your light.
Close any doors that would lead me into a temptation or away from my very best.
Though I do not know what will come my way today,
I choose to trust in your perfect plan and purpose for me.
Calm in state,
Free from anxiety I feel,
Reassuring me of your constant presence.
Help me take each task that each encounter or conversation I have today provides a chance to be a light for you in this world.
Please allow me wisdom and courage to know when to speak and when to listen.
Soften my heart to be generous,
Patient,
And compassionate.
Set me apart from the world as your ambassador.
May your purposes be fulfilled through me today.
And I lift this day up to you.
