My God

I pray for those whose lives are closely linked to mine. I thank you, dear God, for giving me parents who provided wisdom, guidance, and spiritual direction to you.

Help me to be a light in the world to others and anoint my eyes to clearly see what you want me to see.

My God, let my words build others up and not hurt or tear them down. Guide me to treat everyone with dignity and respect regardless of who they are. Forgive me for any wounds that I’ve inflicted on anyone known and unknown.

Sustain me in my daily routine and help me to realize my callings and make me a better witness to God’s love.

Finally, order my steps, keep me from stumbling, and lead me in the right direction. For we make plans but you, dear God, make purpose.

In Jesus Christ's name, I pray, Amen.
