Dear God, I want to thank you for the work you are doing in my life.
I am so grateful for every new opportunity that this day will bring.
Your grace is so amazing. As I grow stronger, my faith in you grows deeper
and I am so thankful. I know that the plan you have for my life will slowly unfold with each new day.
I will be patient as change comes because I know you are in charge.
Help me to help others today. God, I pray for the hurting; for those still living in their misery.
I pray for those whose lives have been impacted by the disastrous touch of addiction;
for the families torn apart and especially for the children left to wonder and grieve.
God, give them your peace and guide them gently through this next twenty-four hours.
Amen.
