We welcome a new day, Father, as the dawn brings another day of things falling into place according to your plan. Step by step, we allow everything to take its position in divinely-guided, surprising ways. Although things look dark, we can pull in your vibrant Love that is a living force that sustains us in our every moment. “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” (Romans 5:5) In this time of great change, we ask that you bless those who are most vulnerable, meek and afraid, that you put your arms around them and hold them steady throughout. We ask that those who are struggling be enhanced, that those who are sinking be kept afloat.

May this day be one of compassionate miracles in the lives of one and all. Psalm 65 tells us, “The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.” Even in times of upheaval, we will remember to look at our world with the eyes of a child, seeing the wonders your hands are crafting as the power of darkness fades. We will see your great works and we will give thanks.

Bless us, bless our families, our team members and all of our loved ones, Father. May they all walk in a new Light, one of peace and wisdom. We ask that you give special blessings to all warriors, may your love protect, renew and sustain them all.

As we walk our path today, we become elevated in your light. We will remember to live a more inspired way with every breath we take, because we know that is what you want for us, Father. That you love your children and want us to be able to experience joy and happiness. As the darkness recedes, we will create in new ways that celebrate the gift of life that you have given us.

So be it,

Amen
