God, thank you for this day.

This beautiful, amazing day.

Here again, with You, for You, today.

God, give me patience to endure the hardships of this day.

Help me to see that they, too are great blessings in disguise.

Let me see the pain and difficulty as ways of coming to know You,

Dear Lord God.

God who loves me so, who looks for me,

And cares for me.

All this beautiful day.

I will be with You, God, always – as You are always with me in all ways.

Amen.
