Heavenly Father,
As the sun rises on this new day, we give You thanks and praise for Your faithfulness and love. We ask that You would be with us in all that we do, and that Your will would be done in our lives.
Grant us wisdom and discernment to make good decisions, and give us the strength and courage to follow through on them. Protect us from harm and guide us in the path of righteousness.
We pray for Your blessings on our work and our relationships, and we ask for Your provision for all of our needs.
We also lift up any specific requests we have, knowing that You hear and answer our prayers.
As we start this new day, we pray that You would be glorified in all that we do and say, and we pray that Your love would be evident in our lives.
We Pray this in the Mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
