First Day of the Month Prayer
Let us pray.
Lord today is a new day, a chance for a new start. Yesterday is gone and with it, any regrets, mistakes or failures I may have experienced. It’s a good day to be glad and give thanks and I do Lord. Thank you for today, a new opportunity for love, and to be all that you want me to be. Today I want to start the day with you on my mind and in my heart. As I dress, let me wear the armor you’ve provided daily. The helmet of Salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the belt of truth, the shoes of peace and the sword of spirit with prayer on my tongue. Praise for you and petitions for those around me and those I meet. Feed me today with your daily bread as the bread of life, your faith like manner will sustain me throughout any trials and hunger. Help me to set my thoughts on things above and to speak only what will help and encourage others. Keep me from saying the wrong things, and help me guard the affections of my heart today. Lord, make whatever work I do be marked with excellence rather than perfectionism, as I seek not to make a name, but to make a difference.
Help me to treat each person I encounter, as you would, with respect and love, forgiving others and asking for forgiveness myself when needed. As I start this day, help me remember that I belong to you, and my desire is to act accordingly. Keep my feet from stumbling and my mind from wandering into distractions that could steal precious time and energy from the most important things you have designed for me. I’m proud to be your child Lord and I’m so grateful that you died for me. Rising again so that every day could be filled with the wander of your love, the freedom of your spirit, and the joy of knowing you. I know earthly life is short and fleeting Lord. But I want to live today as if it were the first or the last day of my life, giving thanks for every good and prefect gift you choose to give today. Every day I want to live my life for you Jesus. In your precious name. Amen.
