So, here I am, Lord,
at the beginning of another day
and like every other day
– this one’s a gift from you:
a clean slate,
a fresh start,
a gift to be open,
a mystery to explore,
an opportunity to take
a chance to begin anew…
As on every other day, Lord,
I can choose:
to waste all you generously give
or accept all you have to offer
so today I pray you’ll open
my heart to your love,
my mind to your wisdom,
my thoughts to your truth,
my soul to your mercy
and my hands to any in need…
Amen.
