Daily Prayers - Prayers for every day of the week - Prayables

Help me stay in the present tense today.
Keep the past where it belongs.
Even the future can be a stumbling block
if it slows me down now.
There's only so much room in my life
for what I need to carry.
If the world is an oyster
and inside it is a pearl, open it for me.
Polish this day, shine it up so I see it for the gift it is.
Allow me to be okay, right where I am,
even as I strive to be better.
Just once, filter out the static of what was
so I can be in this moment.

Monday Blues

Prayers - Daily Prayer

By Naomie Kinyanjui

Monday Blues

Chilly, cold, rainy morning

I feel as awful as the weather.
What a weekend to remember,
but Monday is here...
Help me complete this day.
I pray for your strength.
See me through the ever angry boss,
who doesn't seem to care.
Help me to see your hand in my every step,
as you lead me through another day.

Wrapping Up Friday

WWrappingUpFriday117x175

This week has been a gift;
today I tie the ribbon—
wrapping up work, looking forward to rest.
Thank You for the thousand ways

You have lent a hand to me.
Through every meeting and every interaction,
through every dirty face and unwashed dish,
You have been my guide.
Help me end this week as I sought to begin it:
with hope, strength, patience, and peace.

Sailing Forth on Tuesday

Prayers - Daily Prayer

Sailing Forth on Tuesday

WSailingForthonTuesday200x1

Tuesday…at sea,
yet not far from the harbor.
I row forward, scenting progress,
yet prone to doubt my own abilities.
Dearest Companion,
help me experience this day
like Balboa, first sighting the Pacific:
wide-eyed, without cynicism,
a vista of incredible opportunities,
with endless routes to success.
Please stay close by;
this ship takes two to steer.

Monday Climbing Mountains

Prayers - Daily Prayer

Monday Climbing Mountains

Monday…most dreaded day.
It is a day for beginnings—
and beginnings are hard.
I crane my neck to survey the day.
The sheer face of it looks insurmountable.
Take my hand and guide me over this Monday.
Teach me not to fear it,
but to embrace its possibilities.
Show me that Monday
is an opportunity for change, reinvention.
Will You help me take a fresh approach,
a bold, new step in a different direction?
Thank You for the challenge,
and for Your hand to hold as I set out on
the untracked path of a new week.
