Heavenly Father, as the dawn breaks and a new day begins, I come before You with a heart that yearns for Your presence.

Set me free from these burdens, and grant me peace that surpasses all understanding. I long to feel Your presence in every moment, to know that You are my refuge and strength.
May my trust in You deepen as I seek to align myself with Your will. Help me to cultivate a heart that is attentive to Your voice and quick to follow where You lead. As I navigate through the day, remind me of Your unfailing love and the assurance that comes from being in Your care.
Thank You for every morning You gift me. I commit this day to You, trusting that Your plans for me are good. Let my life be a reflection of Your light and love as I move forward. In Jesusā name, I pray. Amen.
