Lord, help me to live today with anticipation. Give me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to receive the blessings salted throughout it. Focus my attention on listening, caring, helping, and loving. Give me patience with myself so that I might be patient with each person I meet today. Take the sting out of my thoughts so that the peace in me might be peace for them. You promise life, Lord, and that is what I ask—but just for today. In Jesus name, Amen.

A Prayer to Begin the Day
Lord, help me to live today with anticipation. Give me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to receive the blessings salted throughout it. Focus my attention on listening, caring, helping, and loving. Give me patience with myself so that I might be patient with each person I meet today. Take the sting out of my thoughts so that the peace in me might be peace for them. You promise life, Lord, and that is what I ask—but just for today. In Jesus name, Amen.
