Heavenly Father,

As I begin this new day, I come before you with a heart open to your guidance. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105), and I seek your wisdom to navigate the decisions and challenges that today may bring.

Lord, I acknowledge that my steps are ordered by you (Psalm 37:23), and I desire to walk in alignment with your will. Your Word encourages us to trust in you with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding, to acknowledge you in all our ways so that you may direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Today, I surrender my plans to you and invite your guidance in every aspect of my life.

Grant me the discernment to recognize your leading and the courage to follow where you guide. Your Word assures me that you go before me and that your right hand will hold me fast (Psalm 139:10). May I find confidence and peace in your presence.

Lord, I ask for wisdom in my interactions with others, kindness in my words, and patience in my actions. Help me to be a vessel of your love and grace, reflecting your character to those I encounter today.

In moments of uncertainty, remind me that you are my Shepherd, and I lack nothing (Psalm 23:1). May I hear your voice clearly, distinguishing it from the noise of the world, and may I respond with obedience and trust.

I commit this day to you, Lord, asking for your guidance and provision. May my thoughts, words, and actions be pleasing in your sight.

In the name of Jesus, I pray.

Amen.
