Today Is A Gift

Yes, yes it is. Of course, every day is a gift; we all know that. You all know that I love Saturday. It’s the one morning in the week when I catch a little more z’s and don’t have to rush out the door to work. We have a few things on our to-do list this morning, but I’m hoping to spend some time on the water this afternoon.

My message today, friends, is simple: today is a gift, accept the gift, enjoy the gift, and give thanks to our Lord for the gift of another day. Find ways to share His love with others, find time to spend with Him, and celebrate the gift of this day.

I share this prayer that I read this morning, it’s pretty spot on for the theme of today’s little blog.

Good morning Lord!
As I start this new day, I come before You with gratitude and joy. Thank you for Your faithfulness in giving me another day of life to serve and honor You. I acknowledge that this day is a gift, and I do not take it for granted.

Lord, I pray that You would fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Empower me to reflect Your love, kindness, patience, and goodness to everyone I interact with today. Give me discernment to see opportunities to serve and bless others. Guard my heart against pride or selfishness. Help me to put others first.

I pray for Your hand of protection over me today. Keep me safe as I go about my day. Shield me from any accidents or harm. Guide my conversations and decisions today, big and small. Open doors of opportunity to shine your light. Close any doors that would lead me into temptation or away from your best.

Though I do not know what will come my way today, I choose to trust in Your perfect plan and purpose for me. Calm any anxiety I feel, reassuring me of your constant presence. Help me take each task, big or small, and complete it with excellence unto You. May my work reflect Your value of diligence and integrity.

Lord, make me mindful that each encounter or conversation I have today provides a chance to be a light for You. Give me wisdom and courage to know when to speak and when to listen. Soften my heart to be generous, patient, and compassionate. Set me apart from the world as Your ambassador. May Your purposes be fulfilled through me today. I love You and lift this day up to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Friends, have a wonderful day, enjoy the gift 🙂 .

Psalm 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
