Prayer for a Monday

As we begin our day today let us praise the Lord for a new week and a new opportunity to begin again.  We ask you Lord to be with us as we dust ourselves off and begin again.  Help us to have eyes to see all the gifts you provide each day.  Help us to see the sign posts that point us to you and your will.  Give us courage to follow you, even if it is unpopular to do so.  We thank you Lord for making every day new.  Please bless everyone in our community, mostly those most in need of your loving care, Amen.

 

God of new beginnings, we are walking into mystery.
We face the future, not knowing what the days and months will bring us or how we will respond.

Be love in us as we journey.
May we welcome all who come our way.
Deepen our faith to see all life through your eyes.
Fill us with hope and an abiding trust that You dwell in us amidst all our joys and sorrows.
Thank You for the treasure of our faith life.
Thank You for the gift of being able to rise each day with the assurance of Your walking through the day with us.
God of our past and future, we praise you.
