12. 0:26Heavenly Father, before this day begins,
13. 0:28I come before you with a thankful heart.
14. 0:31Thank you for every breath I take as a
15. 0:33reminder of your mercy and every new
16. 0:35sunrise is evidence of your
17. 0:37faithfulness.
18. 0:39Lord, before I think about my plans,
19. 0:41responsibilities, worries, or goals, I
20. 0:44want to acknowledge you.
21. 0:45You are the source of my strength, the
22. 0:47giver of life, and the one who holds
23. 0:49every moment of my future.
24. 0:52Nothing about this day surprises you.
25. 0:54You already know every conversation I
26. 0:55will have, every challenge I will face,
27. 0:58and every blessing you have prepared for
28. 1:00me.
29. 1:01Father, I surrender this day completely
30. 1:02[music] into your hands. Guide my steps
31. 1:05and direct my decisions. Help me not to
32. 1:08lean on my own understanding, but to
33. 1:09trust you in all things. [music]
34. 1:12When I am uncertain, give me wisdom.
35. 1:15When I am weak, give me strength.
36. 1:16[music]
37. 1:17When I am anxious, remind me that you
38. 1:19are in control.
39. 1:21I pray for peace to fill my heart before
40. 1:23the day begins.
41. 1:25Remove every burden that I have been
42. 1:26carrying.
43. 1:28Take away the fears about tomorrow and
44. 1:30the regrets from yesterday.
45. 1:32Help me live fully in the grace you
46. 1:34provide for today.
47. 1:36Your word tells us not to worry about
48. 1:38anything, [music] but to bring
49. 1:39everything to you in prayer.
50. 1:42So, I bring you my concerns, my
51. 1:44unanswered questions, and the situations
52. 1:46that seem beyond my control.
53. 1:48I place them all at your feet and trust
54. 1:51that you are working behind the scenes
55. 1:53even when I cannot see it.
56. 1:56Father, help me walk in kindness today.
57. 1:58Let my words encourage others.
58. 2:00Let my actions reflect your love.
59. 2:03Make me a blessing to everyone I meet.
60. 2:05Guard my tongue from speaking harshly
61. 2:07and my heart from becoming bitter.
62. 2:10Instead, fill me with patience,
63. 2:12compassion, and understanding.
64. 2:15I pray for protection over my family and
65. 2:17loved ones.
66. 2:18Watch over them wherever they are.
67. 2:20Keep them safe from harm and surround
68. 2:22them with your presence.
69. 2:24Strengthen those who are struggling.
70. 2:26Comfort those who are hurting.
71. 2:28Encourage those who feel discouraged.
72. 2:31I also pray for those who may be feeling
73. 2:33lonely today.
74. 2:34Remind them that they are never
75. 2:36forgotten by you.
76. 2:37Let them experience your nearness and
77. 2:39your unfailing love in a powerful way.
78. 2:43Father, before this day begins, I ask
79. 2:45you to renew my faith.
80. 2:47Sometimes life becomes overwhelming and
81. 2:49it is easy to focus on problems instead
82. 2:51of promises.
83. 2:53Help me remember that you are still the
84. 2:55God who opens doors no one can shut.
85. 2:58Make a way where there seems to be no
86. 2:59way and work all things together for
87. 3:02good of those who love you.
88. 3:05Teach me to trust you more deeply today.
89. 3:08Help me notice the small blessings that
90. 3:10often go unnoticed.
91. 3:11A kind word, a moment of laughter, a
92. 3:13beautiful sky, a warm meal, a friendly
93. 3:16smile.
94. 3:18Open my eyes to see your goodness in
95. 3:20both the extraordinary and the ordinary
96. 3:22moments of life.
97. 3:25Lord, if difficulties come my way today,
98. 3:27help me respond with faith rather than
99. 3:29fear.
100. 3:30Remind me that every trial is temporary,
101. 3:33but your promises are eternal.
102. 3:35When I feel tired, be my strength.
103. 3:38When I feel discouraged, be my hope.
104. 3:40When I feel alone, remind me that you
105. 3:43are always near.
106. 3:45I pray for a heart that remains [music]
107. 3:46grateful no matter the circumstances.
108. 3:49Thank you for every prayer you have
109. 3:51answered and for every prayer you are
110. 3:53still working on.
111. 3:55Thank you for the doors you have opened
112. 3:57and even for the doors you have closed
113. 3:58for my protection.
114. 4:01I place my future in your hands. I do
115. 4:03not know what lies ahead, but I know who
116. 4:05goes before me.
117. 4:07That gives me confidence and peace.
118. 4:10As this day unfolds, help me keep my
119. 4:12eyes fixed on you.
120. 4:14Let me seek your presence throughout
121. 4:15every hour.
122. 4:17May I honor you in my thoughts, words,
123. 4:19and actions.
124. 4:20Let everything I do bring glory to your
125. 4:22name.
126. 4:24Thank you, Lord, for your mercy that is
127. 4:26new every morning.
128. 4:28Thank you for your grace that sustains
129. 4:30me.
130. 4:31Thank you for your love that never
131. 4:32fails.
132. 4:34Before this day begins, I choose to
133. 4:36trust you.
134. 4:38Before this day begins, I choose to
135. 4:39thank you.
136. 4:40Before this day begins, I choose to
137. 4:42place my life in your hands.
138. 4:45And no matter what happens today, I will
139. 4:47remember that you are with me. You are
140. 4:49for me and you will never leave me.
141. 4:53Father, renew my mind because my
142. 4:55thoughts matter.
143. 4:57Your word says in Romans 12:2 to be
144. 4:59transformed by the renewing of my mind.
145. 5:02So, today
146. 5:03change how I think.
147. 5:05Remove every negative pattern. Break
148. 5:08every lie I've believed. Replace fear
149. 5:11with faith. Replace anxiety with peace.
150. 5:15Let my mind align with your truth.
151. 5:18In the precious name of Jesus, I pray.
152. 5:20Amen.
153. 5:21If this prayer blessed your heart today,
154. 5:23take a moment to share it with someone
155. 5:24who may need God's peace in their life.
156. 5:27And as you go about your day, remember
157. 5:29that the Lord is with you, guarding your
158. 5:31heart, strengthening your spirit,
159. 5:33[music] and surrounding you with his
160. 5:35perfect peace.
