Lord, thank you for this beautiful, fresh new day. Thank you for the shining sun, the chirping birds, and the fresh air in my lungs. Thank you despite the worry that woke me up or the gut punch of loss that came to mind. Thank you for all the plans and purposes that you have for me. Give me vision and wisdom as I make decisions. Even when I wake up to chaos, give me nudges of your sweet direction as I amble through the morning. Teach me to trust you with everything that is on my to-do list today. Gently lead me to the next thing to do and help me to listen to your voice. I long to live with purpose and joy in my heart. I know that true joy and purpose can only come from you. Show me where I am leaning on the world for peace and joy. Show me what I am focusing on in the morning hours that negatively affect my days. I want to live in full trust of whatever you have for me. Please fill me with the fullness of joy that you promise in your Word. Fill me with your Holy Spirit as I go about my day, reminding me that I am loved and created for a purpose, even when the tasks in front of me seem mundane. Help me to remember to work for the Lord in all that I do. (Colossians 3:23)
In your precious name, I pray, amen.
