Prayer of the Day

Lord, I'd love a good day today. But teach me what good really is:

Not everything going my way, but You beside me whichever way it goes. Work that matters, honestly done. A kind word given, and maybe one received. Patience that outlasts my inconvenience. A grateful heart by nightfall.

If You give me an easy day, thank You. If You give me a hard one, stay close, and make something good of it anyway.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Thank You, Father, for this day now ending.

For food on the table and a place to sleep. For work done and rest coming. For the people who love me, and the mercy that met me every hour, seen and unseen.

I didn't earn a minute of it. Receive my thanks — it's all I have to give back tonight, and You've never asked for more.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
