Today's Prayer

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

Father, thank you for this day, today. Help me to start this day with a good attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of every minute. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me clear my mind and focus so that I can hear you and yours. Continue to use me to do your will, and give me discernment. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. You have done so much for me. You keep on blessing me. Please forgive me if I have done, said or thought something that was not right.

Father, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Let me not complain over things I have no control over. Let me remember that others learn as they struggle, and I should help but not do for them.

Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak, and smart so I can teach them. Stay close that I may have encouragement for others. Continue to send me your angels, and those who make me smile.

I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know you. I pray for those that don't believe. I pray for all my brothers and sisters. I pray for peace, love and joy for us all, and that their needs are met not only through you but also through their own hard work. People change through you.

When this world closes in on me, remind me of Jesus' example to find a quiet place to pray... it's the best response when I'm pushed to my limits. I know that when I can't pray, you listen to my heart and mind.

Let me see sin through your eyes and acknowledge it. When I sin, let me remember to repent, confess my wrongdoing, receive your forgiveness, and change.

I know that there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than you. Every battle is in your hands for you to fight. I place my problems and battles in your hands.

I pray that these words be trully received into my heart.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.
