Almighty God,
I come before You this morning with a grateful heart. I thank You for Your faithfulness and for waking me up to another day. I ask that You would bless me, my loved ones, and all those around me. Give me wisdom, strength, and discernment as I go about my day.
Help me to put You first in all that I do and to honor You in every situation. Protect me from harm and guide me in the path You have for me. I ask for Your blessings on work and all other areas of my life. I trust in Your love and Your plan for my life.
I pray that You would provide for my needs and guide me in making wise decisions. I ask for Your wisdom in my work and for Your favor in my business. I ask that You would give me opportunities to share Your love and truth with those around me. I trust in Your goodness and faithfulness, and I give You all the glory and honor.
This is my prayer in Jesus’ name, Amen.
