I am blessed because you are a forgiving God and an understanding God. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from you. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. I know that when I can't pray, you listen to my heart. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for my family and for my friends. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. He is in control and has a plan and a reason for everything.
