A Daily Morning Prayer

Father, I thank you for the blessings of a new morning and the privilege of beginning the day by talking with you. I give you myself and my schedule today, asking to be used to further your kingdom. Grant me the wisdom to handle each situation I encounter with grace so that my speech will be pleasing and my thoughts pure as I follow your direction. I am grateful that your plans for me are good (Jeremiah 29:11), and I trust in your steadfast faithfulness. Help me to live in a manner worthy of the calling you have placed on my life (Ephesians 4:1) and to magnify your name in all things. Amen.
