At the Start of the Day

Dear Lord, thank you for the night’s rest you gave me. I am grateful for the renewed energy and enthusiasm it has brought. Accept my gratitude for bringing me to the beginning of this new day. I accept it as a precious gift from you. May I use it minute by minute to do your will. Guide me in every problem I face, every decision I make this day.Help me to treat everyone kindly, fairly and thoughtfully. If I should forget you during this day, please do not forget me. Amen.
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)
