Lord, in your mercy hear my prayer.

Thank you for this morning, Lord. You are so faithful to wake me up for a brand new day. I am grateful you have let me greet the sun one more time. Let me not take you for granted.

It’s finally Friday, Lord, and I am grateful and excited. Give me a grateful heart for all that you give me. You are an excellent provider. Help me embrace all the joy you have for me.

Bless young people who are carrying burdens too heavy for them. Lighten their loads and give them joy in their lives. Provide the resources and support that they need to thrive.

Thank you for giving me everything I need to grow into who you designed me to be. Let me always give you all the praise and glory. It is in Jesus’ name and for his sake I pray.

Amen
