A Prayer for Daily Guidance and Gratitude

Heavenly Father, we awaken this new day with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of life, for the breath in our lungs, and for the promise of Your unfailing love that greets us with the dawn. Thank You for Your mercies that are new every morning, for Your constant presence, and for the opportunity to walk in Your light for another day. We acknowledge You as the source of all good things and praise Your holy name. As we step into the hours ahead, we humbly ask for Your divine guidance. Direct our thoughts, words, and actions, Lord, that they may honor You and bless those around us. Grant us wisdom to make decisions that align with Your will, strength to overcome challenges, and patience to endure trials. Help us to see others through Your eyes, to extend kindness and compassion, and to be instruments of Your peace in a world that so desperately needs it. We entrust our lives, our plans, and our very beings into Your loving hands. May Your Spirit lead us in paths of righteousness, protect us from temptation, and fill us with Your joy. We commit this day to You, praying that everything we do may bring glory to Your name. Amen.
