Lord, make me a beautiful instrument of your peace.
where there is worry, let me bring comfort;
where there is fear; let me bring relief;
where there is sorrow; let me bring joy;
where there is evil; let me bring light;

father,
grant that I may know you and love you and follow you always
to be your hands and feet, giving of myself for the grace
of your blessing
to know your love without doubt;
to walk without having been shown the way;
I know you are there and I will follow; and the way will become clear as you would have it be;

Father, I come to you today to worship you, praise, you, thank you for all that you do and for all that you continue to do in my life. I ask you to please watch over me today, and give me the strength and the courage to make it through the day. Help me to accomplish the task that has been set in front of me today, and help me to do it with a positive mindset. Please stay with me, and help me not to falter or fail, but to make accomplishment even with my great difficulties.

Lord I thank you for the challenge given to me to share my faith with others. Please help me to be open to using my gifts and the talents that you have given me. I pray that I can continue to develop in my gifts and abilities and to use them in the best way possible to serve as you would intend me to serve. I pray that I am open and willing to receive new gifts and new talents and to be open to the possibility of change as you see fit. I pray that you will guide me and instruct me today and help me to rise to the best of my ability.
I pray all these things through your name.

Lord I just thank you for today, for granting me the strength and courage to make it through the day. Lord, I want to follow you, but I am tempted many times to do otherwise. I try not to fail and to fall, but at times it is more difficult than others, and sometimes I lose my way. I always seem to come back to you because I know that you are the truth, the light, and the way to my eternal happiness and salvation. I pray that you help me not to wander off as much, not to lose my way, and to follow you wherever you might want to take me.
