The joy of the Lord is my strength!

I’m sleepy this morning but still grateful that you woke me up for a brand new day. Thank you for never forgetting about me. You will not cast me aside or leave me behind.

Bless me to be energetic and productive today. Allow me to focus on you in all that I do. Guide my steps and tell me what to do to be pleasing in your sight. Give me strength.

Bless those who are in conflict in the world. Cause people to lay down their weapons and be filled with peace. Bless our leaders and let us become your beloved community on earth.

This day belongs to you. Let me give you all the honor and the praise. It is in Jesus’ name and for his sake I pray.

Amen
