Good morning my God and Great Friend,
I am so glad that I do not have to go out this day without you to accompany me with your many blessings and great care. I pray that nothing I see or do today will deceive me into thinking that the good things I enjoy are a product of my own strength and purpose. Let me never forget that these things are a gift from you, my God-and-Friend. Let me never forget that at any moment, even in the midst of my greatest triumph, you might require my life from me. Let my response to that knowledge be a complete trust in you and obedience to all you command.
Dear Lord, by an act of my own will and desire, I return to you every good gift that you have given to me. May every dollar I possess, and every object I own, along with any talents and abilities I may have, be dedicated to enriching and enlarging your Kingdom on this earth. I beg you Lord, to so possess me with your Spirit that every person whose life I touch today will be drawn to you. Keep me ever mindful of that possibility as I go about my daily tasks.
I pray your blessings, my Lord and Savior, on all people that I come in contact with today, on every person who receives and email from me or sends me one. May all my actions in relation to them be a witness of your great love for them. I pray these things in the great name of my one true Friend, Jesus Christ. AMEN
