A prayer for this season of life:

Loving Father, thank you for today.
I recall and confess that you are faithful and good.

Help me to recognize my belovedness.
You desire faithfulness, not success.
I am valued apart from performance.

Help me to recognize my limits,
to do only what you have called me to today,
and to exercise grace with myself.

Help me to actively seek out imago dei in my brothers and sisters,
to acknowledge openly the good I see in them,
to help them see their own potential,
and to build them up with my words.

Our battle is not against flesh and blood, so help me to recognize the forces of darkness at work in the world around me. Protect me from them, and shine your light through me. May I tirelessly protest the darkness and fearlessly declare with my life the immediate and ultimate victory of life over death.

I step into this day with a heart full of gratitude.
