The joy of the LORD is my strength!

I woke up ready to start the day You have blessed me with. Thank You for being such a faithful and generous God. Give all Your children a chance at a better tomorrow.

I pray You will help me to embrace the hope and possibility of Your presence. Give me the capacity to receive and apply all the blessings You have for me. Let me be a blessing to others.

Bless those with no protection against the winter weather and elements, LORD. Keep them warm and protected from all hurt, harm, or danger. Help us to care for our neighbors in need.

My joy is made complete in You and I give You all the thanks and praise. Help me to stay centered in and focused on You. It is in Jesus’ name and for his sake I pray.

Amen
