A Prayer For A Good Start

Dear Jesus,

     As we venture out and start our day, please help us to remember that You are in control.  Help us to shift our focus from the waves of adversity to Your steadfast embrace.  Help us to remember that when we keep our eyes on You we can do anything, even walk on water.  But when we focus on our circumstances we can easily be overwhelmed and feel as if we're drowning - often even hurting those who would try to help by our flailing to regain control.  Give us eyes to see the opportunities You've given us to serve others.  Help us not to feel so busy that we won't lend a hand to someone else.  And keep us from making excuses to not help.  Please take us by the hand today and guide us.  Let us know that it is You who holds onto us and not us holding onto You.  Reassure us that we cannot let You down because it was never us who held You up.  Help us to know and experience Your love today.  Thank You!

We love You Lord!

Amen
