I am profoundly grateful for your calming presence, which allows me to navigate life’s uncertainties with grace. I come before you, recognizing my imperfections and the negative habits that hinder my growth. Grant me the strength and wisdom to break free from these destructive patterns.
I see the world and my own life with all-too-human eyes, and I miss the wider perspective. But You see all things, and You know Your ultimate purpose. Guide my steps, my thoughts, my decisions, and my life so it all points to You and Your plan. Let me not fear making a decision, for I know that if it is not Your will, I can trust that You will speak truth into my life and steer me back on track.
Prayer is a powerful practice that can bring peace, comfort, and guidance to our lives. Many people find it helpful to start or end their day with a prayer to set a positive intention and connect with a higher power. But what is a good prayer to say every day? Here are some suggestions:
Learn to develop your skills, desire and ability to join others on their spiritual journeys and take them closer to Jesus. Almighty God, you fill all things with your presence. Give us this day our daily bread;and forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive those who trespass against us;and lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil. The ever-present help of God can make us prone to take him for granted.
Morning Prayer
Starting your day with a prayer can help you focus your mind and heart on what is truly important. One powerful morning prayer is the Serenity Prayer:
I want You to give me the strength to power through all of the tasks today—whether little or big. Thank You for Your everlasting presence Lord and In Jesus Name I pray. Dawson Trotman’s words beautifully capture why journaling is a vital part of so many people’s spiritual journeys.
It’s very easy, when you pray, to get bogged down in talking with God about all the things going on in your own life. Many of you have asked me to include as short healing prayer as well. Just for today, help me, God, to remember to be kind and patient to thepeople who love me, and to those who work with me too.
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.”
Evening Prayer
Ending your day with a prayer can help you reflect on your experiences and express gratitude for the blessings in your life. A simple evening prayer could be:
“Thank you, God, for guiding me through this day and for all the love and support in my life. Please grant me restful sleep and a peaceful heart.”
