Father,

As we ring in the day, grateful for the chance to rise above the things that plague us, so that we may surpass what trips us up to achieve a form of mental toughness. Toughness in the way that we emulate you in being “full of compassion, slow to anger, and rich in mercy.” (Psalm 103) We will strive today Father to see all things with a balanced focus in order to maintain productive flow, without taking things too personally. To adopt an outlook of aged wisdom, with the innocence of a child. To take on our work with zeal, while pacing ourselves so that we don’t burn all our reserves. To operate with tha mental toughness, while maintaining kindness and compassion for our fellow human beings. To not see things all black or all white but as the more realistic shades of gray that swirl to make up the people and situations we know.

Father we ask that you keep our human family close in your arms with special protection and elevate their messages so that they are carried by the wind from a thousand Angel wings to all ears that can hear. We ask for blessings of health, strength and endurance for all our team members. May we and our loved ones know the impact of your love and tender mercy today and every day, Father, as we open our hearts fully to receive the gift of your miracles, upgrading our lives and clearing our paths.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans) May we step forward in this day with the eagerness and lightheartedness of a child, able to take on whatever the world brings, to carve it into a creation of our choice, and leave it better than we found it. To stare down the darkness one heartbeat at a time, carried on the momentum and loving guidance of your life-giving life-force that is inside each of us and all around us.

Let it be so,

God is Victory,

Amen
