Heavenly Father,

I come before you with a heart filled with gratitude for the precious gift of this day. Your Word reminds me that “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). I thank you for the new opportunities, the breath of life, and the blessings that accompany each moment.

Lord, I acknowledge that every day is a gift from you, and I am grateful for the grace and mercy that accompany me from sunrise to sunset. Your faithfulness is evident in the unfolding of each hour, and I praise you for the beauty and uniqueness that this day holds.

Thank you for the challenges that help me grow, the joys that bring a smile to my face, and the lessons that shape my character. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105), and I trust in your guidance for the day ahead.

May my words and actions today be pleasing in your sight. Empower me to love and serve others as you have loved and served me. Open my eyes to the opportunities to share your love and grace with those around me.

Lord, as I embark on this day, I surrender my plans and desires to your will. May your purpose be fulfilled in my life, and may I walk in obedience to your Word. Thank you for being my strength, my refuge, and my constant companion.

In the name of Jesus, I offer this prayer of gratitude for the gift of today.

Amen.
