Father, you are above time. You know what will happen today before it happens. You are the creator and ruler of all.

Steady my heart as I make mental to-do lists and plan for the day ahead. Direct my steps. Give me a desire to follow your ways and accomplish your will. Prompt me to speak only words filled with grace and compassion. Help me to be an example of your kingdom and love others as you have loved me.

Thank you for your mercies that are new every morning. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
