Prayer For The Day


Open for Joy

Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me…   Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Psalm 51:10,12

Let today be a clean slate that welcomes the hope and joy ahead, Lord. I no longer want to wake up to thoughts of many losses, mistakes, or "should have" scenarios. As soon as I begin that tally, the day's potential joy is already lost.

Restore to me the joy of my salvation when I felt the impact of a clean spirit. I was buoyed by the release of my burdens to Your care. I not only accepted joy but watched for it to be part of my experience. Time and circumstances have jaded that view. Remind me of the commitment of faith. Amen.
