Dear Father,
First I acknowledge that you have been better to me
Than I ever deserve for anyone to possible be
I take time to thank you right now for the past
And give praise for the blessings of yesterday
And I ask for you guidance as I embark upon today
I acknowledge that I can not do this on my own
So please guide my footsteeps in all that I do
I realize that you know all before it even happens
So please prepare me for all that this day shall contain
So many times I can not comprehend the 'why' of it all
But Father I trust you even when I don't understand
I am sure that I will encounter all kinds of people today
Some will be quite friendly and others not so cordial
I pray that you touched them all and have your way
But Lord if it is not their season to change
Please Father I ask you to Change me
Help me to reflect you at all times
Please walk with you hand about my shoulder
So you can quickly cover my mouth if neccesary
Give me the words to say in every situation
And help my mind to stay focused on you
For I want to represent you well in all that I do
I understand that I am still a work in progress
And that you are not through with me yet
So Lastly Father reign me in if I stray on today
Amen
 
In the Spirit of Sankofa!
