Today I pray

To my God, In days like this it is hard to find much to be grateful. However, I know it is in these such days which we are able to measure true blessings in our lives. Even when my frustrations are high and I tire of relying on my faith I know I must be patient.

My strong belief is you have purpose for me and you will reveal it in due time. The day will come when I will look back at this part of my life and recognize why I was here. For today it is sometimes hard to understand but I continue to trust in you.

Thank you for remaining in my life and allow me to never wander far from your love for me. Help me to be a blessing to those I encounter and always a reflection of your love. Amen

Today I pray

On this Saturday morning I reflect on the past week thank you for the work you have given me and for the ability to meet these tasks. I pray for the work still available to me which motivates me to a bright future.

Allow me today to enjoy some leisure and allow me also to refuel my body, mind, and spirit so I can fully engage into my work next week.

Give me patience for the potential work which still is pending. I pray these clients will see the value in the services I provide and and they will make the decisions which are right for them and their companies.

Give me a positive attitude even when expectations are not met and remind me my life exists on your time and your plan. In that knowledge give me comfort.

I pray all of this in you God and in your son who taught us all the understanding of your plan. Amen

Today I pray

God, thank you for a terrific day. You continue to prove your presence in my life. The time with my kids was great. Thank you too for allowing me to be a blessing to those I encounter.

Continue to push me to be the person you are calling me to be. Give me the courage of my convictions and allow me to always remember you are in my life.

I pray for the many who are homeless and/or alone that they may find comfort in you. For those who do not have a relationship with you, I pray they will be drawn to you through the love of others.

In the week to come help me to be productive in my work, rested from my leisure and encouraged by my faith. All these things I pray in Christ my saviour. Amen
