Lord, thank you for this new day. Thank you for the rest of the night, for the breath in my lungs and for the light that comes through the window.
Before I do anything else, I give you this day. Guide my thoughts, my words and my hands. Help me to work with honesty and to treat each person I meet with kindness.
Protect my family and the people I love. Go with them wherever they are going today. Keep us from accidents, from harm and from discouragement.
Where there are worries waiting for me, give me peace. Where there are decisions to make, give me wisdom. Where there are people who need help, make me ready to serve.
May everything I do today be for your glory and for the good of others. Amen.
