A new day

Every morning we are given the gift of a new day. Each day is a gift, a clean slate, a blank canvas. As human beings we have the ability to choose how we respond to each day.

That responsibility is 100% up to us.

This prayer by Marianne Williamson is the perfect start to a new day.

Dear God,

I give you this morning.

Please take away my despair of yesterday.

Help me to forgive the things that caused me pain and would keep me bound.

Help me to begin again.

Please bless my path and illumine my mind.

I surrender to You the day ahead.

Please bless every person and situation I will encounter.

Make me who You would have me be, That I might do as You would have me do.

Please enter my heart and remove all anger, fear and pain.

Renew my soul and free my spirit.

Thank you, God, for this day.

Amen.
