Heavenly Father I praise You for today even though it has not gone as I had planned it is going forward within Your plans. I praise You for being in control so I do not have to. I lay my anxieties at Your feet and trust in You. I ask that You help me take command of morning and day and shake all evil from it.
Holy Spirit help me to continue to give praise and to sing in my heart as I face each day. Help me to breathe and trust in You on days like today where many things go wrong or not as planned so, that I can still function, do what needs to be done, and not be stressed. Help me to have faith enough in You that I can continue to put one foot in front of the other and walk my path to fulfill my purpose in life and live as fully as I can. I am a broken man, with many scars in my life and I have faced death way to often in my life and those close to me that have moved over into eternity. I put my trust in You or I would have no hope, joy, sanity, or peace. I can only continue to live because I know that this is not the end but just the start. I will never fully recover from some of the blows I have had in life but that will not stop me from living and fulfilling the plans You have for me. Let me wear my scars as reminders that I may have been wounded but You heal me and I still can face the challenges to come.
Help me to meditate and join with the Psalm that David wrote when I pray for myself: Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be upright and innocent from great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Amen. [Psalm 19:12-14] on
