My Father who is in Heaven, help me sit quietly in Your presence early in the morning to hear your words of guidance and encouragement. Help me listen to You before plunging into a day filled with tasks and activities. Let me stay focused on the most important task, and that is to share the Glory of God with others today and every day.

I need your help to prepare mentally for the arduous tasks ahead before I leave this home. This precious time spent with You will help me when I encounter difficulties as well as celebrations today.  

“For I know my Lord has great plans for me, not to cause harm or pain, but to give me hope and a future filled with opportunities and promise.” Jeremiah 29:11
