Prayer to Start the Day

Dear God, at the start of each day, help us to recognize You above all else. Enlighten the eyes of our hearts that we might see You and notice how You're at work through our lives.

Give us wisdom to make the best choices, and fill us with a desire to seek after You more than anything else in this world. Let Your Spirit and power breathe in us, through us, again, fresh and new.

Thank You that You are greater than anything we may face in our day. Thank You that Your presence goes with us and that Your joy is never dependent on our circumstances, but it is our true and lasting strength, no matter what we're up against.

We ask that Your peace lead us, that it would guard our hearts and minds in You.

We ask for Your grace to cover our lives this day. We love You, Lord… we need You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

I wish you a blessed day,

​With Love,
Rev. Frank
