Dear God, each morning I start praying to you without a sense of how it may go or what I might learn. Some days I awaken with energy and enthusiasm, other days are dull and I drag myself forward. Yet, Lord, you are always there.
Prayer brings a shift in my attitude, even when my starting point is willful reluctance and my words are only perfunctory. The shift, in such cases, may be small – but it is discernible. What more proof could I want, Lord, that you are my companion? I try to draw near to you, and you make yourself felt.
What a gift this is, for one who did not believe.
My dear Lord, let me willingly give all to you. Let me follow your will today wherever it may lead, without thought of safety, comfort, or reward. Let me be still enough to hear your direction.
God, you speak to me through those around me, and you deliver gifts through those means too. Any love or good will I receive from others is sent by you.
Let me be grateful for every positive interaction today, for it is you bringing a small measure of joy to me, your child. Let me delight in your gifts today. Thy will be done.
