Dear God, let my relationship with you be more than just an idea. Let me depend on you wholly. As I consider the day ahead, let me do more than simply imagine that you might help me. Let me trust you as a child would. Let me take your hand and be guided.
I face difficult interactions today. I can imagine myself the victim in them. But this reduces those around me to fictional characters, cartoons. The truth is, that others have awakened this morning with the same uncertainty before the day. None of us know how our time will unfold. Others must surely have fear and worry equal to mine.
Lord, let me view all my dealings today as opportunities to come to others’ aid.
You have granted me the grace of your love. I feel it. This is something not everyone has as of yet. Let me share it, the way I would share an umbrella.
Let me accept your will for me today, without reluctance. Even adversity is sent by you, and so it must surely be a gift. Let me be eager to receive all you deliver. Let me seek and do your will today.
