A Prayer for Your Day

Good Morning Jesus, Lord. Thank you for today, Lord. Thank you, Father. Thank you for the Holy Spirit to lead us today.

Lord, we’ve got a ton of stuff we think needs doing today. We often get caught up in worry and concern over things we ‘think’ are important. We know you know all that is truly important, and what is not.

We put our day, our plans, our very lives, in your hands, Jesus. We know we are under your authority anyway, even if we chose to ignore you. But Lord, we willingly, happily, give ourselves to you today, the best we know how.

Please lead us today. Please bless us today. Please bless others through us, use us, today, Lord. Be in the middle of every interaction we have. Bless everyone, everyone we interact with. And please bless the outcome of every interaction today.

Please bless each of us with your Godly wisdom. Bless us with your Holy peace this day, Jesus. Help us to stay calm in the face of absurdity which seems so common these days. Help us to lead, rather than be led by such ignorance, such emotion.

Lord Jesus, please strengthen us this day, so that we can easily handle all that we have planned. Our responsibilities and our hopes of enjoyment today as well, Lord. We give them to you. Please lead us through them.

More importantly than our own plans and hopes, Jesus, help us handle with your grace whatever you allow in our path today. Your will be done, Lord, not mine, not ours.

Strengthen our faith in you today, Lord. Give us a deeper understanding of you, of your word. Fill us to overflowing today, Jesus, with your amazing peace, with your love, and with your grace for all those in our paths today.

Put a desire in our hearts, now, Jesus, to want to, to need to, read more of your word, the Holy Bible. Thank you for your Word, Father.

We ask Lord, please, do these things for all those we love, care about, and pray for. Our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, peers, and even our enemies, Lord. Please bless each and every one of us in these ways today.

Thank you for your almighty power, and for paying attention to our tiny details in each of our lives as well, Jesus.

Only you, only you could hold the waters of the earth in the palm of your hand, and yet still know the number of hairs on our heads, Lord. Only you know the thoughts in the deepest recesses of our hearts. Only you could do so much, care so much, and pay attention to every detail of our lives as well.

Thank you for loving us, Lord. Please, lead us now, Jesus. Amen.


To the best of your ability today, Friend -- strive to make it extraordinary! You’ll never be able to ‘re-do’ this day, this hour.

You only get one chance at making the most of each day. Make today extraordinary.

I encourage you to begin, now, by letting Jesus Christ, THE Lord and Savior, lead you.
