Dear Lord Our Father in Heaven,
We come before you today, asking for your presence in our lives. Lord, give us your peace, wisdom, and direction.
A traditional week sets our feet at the beginning of the weekend! Our weather is to be beautiful, Lord. Help us notice your radiance displayed across the bright blue skies. Help us feel your love’s warmth through the sun that shines its golden rays upon us.
Let us not focus on the distractions and noise around us and within; instead, guide our senses to the sights and sounds of your creation, nature at its finest. The whimsical orchestra is all around us if we take the time to tune in.
This weekend, Lord, help us to enjoy simplicity! We take simple pleasures for granted: laughing, talking, seeing, breathing, and praising. We praise you, Lord, for the grandeur you put before us daily.
Thankfulness, Lord, help us always to be thankful for each day you bring us to and through. Thank you for your guidance as we walk.
Thank you for your words as we talk so that we may lift and encourage those around us. May we praise you with our lips, all the love we feel inside.
Appreciation, Lord, help us to appreciate what you have blessed us with and to find contentment within. Help us to keep our eyes in our yards and not gaze at another because we all know the truth to the statement, ‘The grass only looks greener on the other side.’ There are weeds in every yard, so help us to attend to our own gardens.
Peacefulness, Lord, I humbly ask for your peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding! Holy Spirit, blend your spirit with ours so we will walk in your gentleness.
As the blue skies and the sun shines upon us today, Lord Jesus, may your love shine with it! I commit this prayer in your name.
Amen. ☀️❤️
