Today’s Prayer

Today’s a new day! If you woke up facing a storm today, I pray these words bring you some peace and comfort.

Dear God, Thank You for waking me up this morning. Thank You for the breath in my lungs. I do not take this gift lightly. I pause right now to acknowledge You as the Miracle Maker.

Dear God, I need You today. I’m not coming before You, pretending I have it all together. I’m asking You to help me—help my heart, help my mind, help me look to You for Your wisdom and guidance. Dear God, guide my steps, guard my words, and strengthen me where I am weak. Where I’m unsure, give me wisdom. Where I’m tired, renew my strength.

I lift up my family and friends before You, Lord. Cover each of them with your love and protection. Allow each of them to experience Your peace today. Meet them at the point of their needs, even the ones they don’t know how to put into words. Heal what’s broken, calm what’s anxious, and restore what’s been drained.

Dear God, I pray for this world. We need You. We need Your mercy, Your guidance, and Your truth. Heal the division, calm the chaos, and turn hearts back toward what is right. Raise up leaders with true integrity and give them Your discernment, courage, and compassion.

Dear God, thank You for grace that covers me, mercy that keeps me, and love that never lets me go. I trust You with this day and the days to come. Dear God, I trust You with my life…Amen ~OC
