Prayer Each Day - Start the Day Over

 from a daily devotional a friend sends me -

Dear Lord, Bless each and every one who reads your words of wisdom today and everyday---Please help us understand your ways and let us make a better day each day of the year.

                Most likely we will stumble throughout the day—but if you can take time out to pray and ask God, to help you start a new fresh day—even if it’s 3 o’clock in the afternoon…it will help you have a better day.  It’s like when a new year rolls around, we celebrate the occasion, hoping for a way to bury the past and start a new future.  IF that fails, we may start the cycle all over again.

                But Jesus in His great love creates for us a new year every day.  His compassions and mercies are fresh gifts daily, inviting us to start the day—and life—new with His mind and  perspective.  Like manna from heaven, every new day brings a fresh batch of hope from the Father’s own hand.

Faith Step:  In what circumstances do you need a new beginning?  Each day as you arise, thank Jesus that He has given you a brand-new morning.  Then ask Him to show you His mind and perspective throughout the day.
