Dear Lord My Father In Heaven,
We begin this day with many firsts that I am asking you to be a part of:
Today is typically known as the first day of the work week; Lord be with us as we head out into the flow of life. Be with us as we drive. Be with us as we speak. Be with us, guiding us to shine as your sweet examples.
As we begin our week, we find it’s the first week of the month! Lord, help us to prioritize our days ahead. Please help us to look at one task at a time, accomplishing as we go! Lord, running on your time frame and not at our frantic pace.
It’s a new day, of a new week, in a new month! The list is long, the tasks are piled, and the responsibilities loom like a thick fog that’s just rolled in! The pressures are wanting to invade our spirits, causing a bit of chaotic panic; so much to do, all the time!
This is when we need to stop, drop, and pray! Pray to you, our Prince of Peace. Our Lord, our God, The author of life! Settle within us the quiet strength that comes from you alone, enabling us to slow down, look around, and breathe!
Thank you, Lord, for being in each breath we take and each decision we make. Thank you for being with us today, this week, and this month! Thank you for April, which brings your gentle spring showers and the promise of May flowers.
In your glorious name Lord Jesus, I pray! Amen ☺️
