A Morning Prayer of Surrender

Lord, this day is Yours before it is mine. Before the first task, the first conversation, the first decision — I give this day back to You. I do not know what it holds. I do not know what challenges will come, what joys will surprise me, what sorrows may find me. But You know. You have gone before me into this day, and You will be with me in every moment of it. I surrender my agenda to Your purposes. I surrender my plans to Your providence. I surrender my fears to Your faithfulness. Let me be present to You today — not rushing past the moments You have prepared, not so focused on what I need to accomplish that I miss what You want to give. Let me be kind when I am tired, patient when I am pressed, and grateful when I am tempted to complain. Let this day be an act of worship — not just the moments I set aside for prayer, but every conversation, every task, every encounter. To You be the glory, from the first breath to the last.
