Dear God,
Thank You for the gift of this Friday morning. We do not take Your grace for granted, for You have carried us through the week by Your mercy alone.
Lord, as we step into this day, we ask that You go ahead of us. Make our paths straight, open the right doors, and close every door that is not meant for us. Give us wisdom in our decisions, peace in our hearts, and strength in everything we lay our hands on.
Protect us and our families, our work, our plans, and our going out and coming in. Let no harm come near us. Surround us with Your favor and let Your presence be our covering.
Bless our efforts today, Lord, and let everything we do bring glory to Your name. We commit this Friday into Your hands. Lead us, sustain us, and give us peace that carries us beyond today.
In Jesus' name we pray
