Prayers We Pray

Jesus, good morning.
Before anything else today, I pause to remember You.
You are here. You are Lord. You are my peace.

I give You this day—the plans I’ve made, the things I can’t control, and the moments I haven’t even seen yet.
Every part of it belongs to You.

I surrender my body, my mind, and my heart to You.
Lead me with Your Spirit.
Guide my thoughts.
Guard my emotions.
Give me wisdom and patience for whatever comes.

I put on Your armor for this day.
Your truth as my foundation.
Your righteousness covering my heart.
Your peace guiding every step.
Faith to shield me.
Salvation guarding my mind.
And Your Word ready in my hands and on my lips.

Jesus, I take my stand in the victory You already won.
No fear will define me.
No lie will lead me.
No darkness will have a voice in this day.
You are my strength and my shield.

Holy Spirit, fill me again.
Fill me with love for the people I’ll meet today.
Fill me with grace for those who frustrate me.
Fill me with courage to do what’s right, even when it’s hard.

Help me to bring Your peace into my work, my conversations, my home, and my world.
Let Your light in me shine brighter than the noise around me.

Father, thank You for already being here.
You go before me. You walk beside me. You’ll still be with me when this day ends.
Whatever happens today, I’m held by You.

So I choose to start this day with gratitude and confidence
not because I know what’s coming,
but because I know who’s in control.

In Your strong and beautiful name, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
