PRAYER FOR TODAY Heavenly Father, thank You for this day, thank You for waking me up and for Your mercy that is new every morning. I place this day into Your hands my going out and coming in, my work and my activities. Perfect everything that concerns me today, provide for my needs, and may Your grace never depart from me. Protect my loved ones and keep them safe wherever they are. May my light shine before others today so that Your name will be glorified through my words, actions, and presence. Strengthen my faith when challenges come, remind me that You are near, and help me walk today with joy and purpose. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
