PRAYER FOR TODAY Heavenly Father, Thank You for the quiet gift of this new day. As I rise, breathe Your peace into my mind and Your courage into my heart. Guide every one of my activities today; place Your hand upon my work, my conversations, and every decision I make. Bless my family, my friends, and everyone connected to my life. This midweek, and as we draw closer to the end of the year, protect us all. Watch over us in our travels and in everything we do. Let Your light go before me, Your mercy surround me, and Your love steady me in all things. Amen.
