Lord of heaven and
earth,
Creator of the firmament,
Father of all mankind,
Thank you for this day,
a day in which I can shine
and glorify You in all I do,
Help me to stay focused on
You
and be mindful of Your will.
Let my thoughts and deeds
be in accordance with Your plans.
Help my heart be so pleasing
to You
that Your heart can live within it.
Let me be a joy to those I
meet;
don't let me be a pain,
the kind of person others avoid.
Don't let me wear out my
welcome,
or my presence be chalk squeaking on a
blackboard.
Let me turn the other cheek
to difficult people.
Let me be a good forgiver
when I am hurt.
a cup of kindness to those who are
hurting,
a loving touch to my neighbors, even the
difficult ones.
Let my life be a worship
service for You,
full of prayer, singing Your praises,
preaching the truth
of Your mercy, grace, peace, and
love.
Let me be a beacon that
draws others to You.
Forgive me when I am so full
of myself
that others cannot see anything of You in
me.
Thank You for Your
unconditional love
for being my eternal, sustaining God
Who always fulfill promises and Who cannot
lie.
Let me always remember Your
promise of eternal life.
Keep me from being the
reason another falters
in his walk with you.
Instead, plant in me seeds
of courage and desire
to share the message of salvation in Jesus
in such a way that they will want to know
You too.
I thank You for all the
saints who encourage me.
As I go on session, let my
attitude be positive.
Work within me and make me
uplifting and selfless.
In Jesus' name I pray.
