Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the gift of a new day. I praise You for watching over me as I slept and for waking me up with Your mercies, which are new every morning.

• “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23)

I give You thanks for the breath in my lungs, the strength in my body, and the opportunity to walk in Your purposes today.

• “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

As I rise, I commit my plans to You and ask for Your guidance in all that I do. Direct my steps and lead me in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake.

• “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Lord, clothe me with Your armor so that I may stand firm against any challenges or trials I may face.

• “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” (Ephesians 6:11)

Let my words, actions, and thoughts glorify You throughout the day.

• “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14)

Fill me with Your Spirit and grant me wisdom, strength, and love as I interact with others. May I be a light to those around me, reflecting Your love and grace.

• “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:14)

Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the blessings You have prepared for me today. I step forward in confidence, knowing You are with me.

• “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love, He will no longer rebuke you but will rejoice over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17)

In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
Amen.
