Ah, morning... that beautiful, clean slate. A brand new chance, a whisper of hope in the air, even when yesterday felt heavy. It's a gift, isn't it? And what better way to greet it than with a quiet moment with God, a prayer for strength and courage to face whatever lies ahead? Like Psalm 118:24 says, "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
Deep breath
"Heavenly Father," I whisper, my heart already swelling with gratitude. "Thank you. Thank you for this day, this life. It's a precious gift." And as I step into today, Lord, I just ask... fill me with hope. Real, unwavering hope. The kind that David talks about in Psalm 27:14: "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Remind me, gently, that even when things get tough, really tough, You have a plan for me. A good plan. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us of that: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Sometimes it's hard to see, isn't it? The weariness creeps in, the trials feel overwhelming... but You're there. Like Isaiah 41:10 says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Give me the strength, Lord. The grit to keep going. Philippians 4:13: "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Shine Your light on my path, guide my steps with wisdom... I need that so much. Proverbs 3:6: "In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." In Jesus' name, Amen."
