God, my heavenly Father, thank you for this new morning and the privilege of beginning the day with you. As today unfolds give me the wisdom to handle every situation I encounter. Let my speech be seasoned with grace and my thoughts pleasing to you. I am grateful to know that regardless of where this day takes me, You are right there beside me. There is no shortage of goodness in Your presence. Help me to live with my mind set on things above so that Your light will shine in my life and your name will be glorified, in Jesus name, Amen.
I originally discovered this morning prayer on a bookmark sent with a newsletter from Dr. Charles Stanley. The message resonated so deeply that I committed it to heart. While it has been some time, I offer these words to you to the best of my recollection, hoping they bring you the same peace they brought me.
