The joy of the Lord is my strength!

Thank you for this morning, so bright and cheerful. The chirping birds remind me that you care for all of your creatures. Thank you for watching over me in all I do.

Help me to work diligently and happily today. Let me successfully focus on the task at hand and use the gifts that you have given me to move forward. Let me always lift you up.

Bless the winds of positive change, Lord. Let us work tirelessly to make our communities better and safer places. Give success to efforts to make positive, tangible changes.

God, we give you all the glory and the praise. Help us to do your will, on earth as it is in heaven. It is in Jesus’ name and for his sake we pray.

Amen
