A Prayer Before Beginning

Father, before I begin, I pause and turn to You. Quiet my heart and steady my hands. Go before me and walk beside me.

Give me wisdom for what is ahead. Help me to do this well, with a calm and willing heart. Whatever comes, keep me close to You.

I place this moment, and all that follows, in Your care. Be my guide and my peace. In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this in the quiet moment before you start something — a task, a journey, a conversation, or a new chapter. Take one slow breath, and let these words settle your heart before you take the first step.
