Sweet Father,
How thankful I am for this new day that sits before us. You have filled us with your mercies anew. You have given us a new song on our hearts. Our new name shines your light upon our stories radiating the evidence of your love even upon the darkest of shadows.
Yes, Father, how thankful I am for this new day!
I pray You will be with each of us this day. Lord, You know the plan we have set for our specific day. I pray you will give us the strength and wisdom and focus we need to accomplish our personal tasks. I pray that we will be mindful of Your plan for our day as well.
Give us the flexibility we need to engage with the people that need our attention. Father, this is hard at times. I know when I set out to complete my to-do list and my men need my attention…Oh, Father, sometimes I get all discombobulated and end up feeling useless or unaccomplished.
Remind us that the people in our lives are center points of your plan for our days. Caring for them, helping them, teaching them, training them, loving them is far greater than most other things. Lord, employment is a vital part of life. Ministry does not take a break. Life is real. We cannot forego our responsibilities. Again with the feelings of discombobulation! We are pulled in many ways, but God is faithful! You will see us through this day at hand.
You promise to walk with us. You promise to hold us. You promise the fruit of the Spirit to be always within us. Your word declares victory upon us. I pray we will walk with You. I pray we will rest in Your hands. I pray we will spill forth the fruit of the Spirit. I pray we will claim victory.
Father, this day is a new day. I pray it will be according to your plan. Make straight our path and give us grace with each and every step.
Amen
