Father,
I pray for courage as I begin this day,
for I understand there is work to be done,
burdens to be carried,
feelings to be shared and
joys to be celebrated.
Grant me the courage to be silent
that I may hear Thy voice;
to persevere, that I may share Thy victory;
and to remember,
lest I forget the way by which Thou has led me.
And when this day is done,
O Lord, may I have the courage to see
Thy guiding hand in the
friendships that have been made,
in the hurts that have been healed,
and in the strength that has been given.

Amen.
Alyssa
