From time to time, I’ll share a prayer I pray with you, to help you through your day.  This one is about facing the realities of what needs to be done, not only to make a living, but also to just get through the daily chores.  It’s also about getting the courage and resolve to work on one’s own challenges and problems.

God, with this beginning of another day, I thank you for my life and the opportunities you give me.

I am so grateful to be alive today.  To breathe, to think, feel and move is a wonderful miracle, and I am so lucky and graced.

I am grateful for how far we have gone together, God.  I am grateful for the many blessings, and even the obstacles and lessons yet to learn.

As I meet today’s challenges, obstacles, lessons, and opportunities, I know I need to remember that we are in this life together.

You have always helped me be my best. I know you will keep on guiding me, encouraging me and lifting me up so that I can lift the heavy loads and finish the jobs still to be done.

So I can do my best, give me the awareness of your love again today, please God, so I will remember you in all the work that comes today and everyday.

Amen.

I hope you have a wonderful, God-filled day today.  I am sure you will remember to remember who gave us this day, and all the infinite possibilities this moment, and this life bring.
