John 9:4: We must carry out the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
Gracious God, the dawning of a new day is a miraculous event. And every breath we take throughout the day is a gift from You. What a blessed privilege it was to wake up this morning and find ourselves yet in the land of the living. Now we ask for Your guidance, grace, and strength to dedicate this day and every day to doing Your will; speaking Your truths, and serving as Christians should.
Lord God, each day is a bonus that comes to us by way of Your gracious hands and merciful heart. We don’t deserve the gift of a new day. And we haven’t proven reliable enough to be trusted with it; but You lovingly give it to us anyway. May we live this day in Your strength; doing all that You command. And may we recognize this day as a new opportunity to advance Your Kingdom purposes on earth; even as it is in heaven.
Thank You Master, for choosing us and blessing us with the gift of today. And thank You for this time of fresh beginnings and second chances; a time to walk in Your holy presence, achieve Your divine purposes and witness Your mighty power. With grateful hearts, we pray for grace to receive the gift of today, and live it for the sake of Your Great Name. Lord, today and every day, we surrender to Your divine use; for Your holy purposes; and in Your surpassing strength. Glory to Your Name. In Jesus name we pray and give thanks. Amen.
