Good Thursday morning, my friends.
Do you wake up every morning just raring for another day of the same-old same-old? Going to work. Going to school. Housework. Errands. Appointments. Kids activities.
It is so easy to lose God in the daily routine of life. We get in a rut, discouraged by the repetitiveness of our activities. If you find yourself in this mode, perhaps this prayer will help.
Grace and peace and fulfillment be yours,
Bruce
Lord Jesus, often the daily grind is not appealing as I awaken each morning to the tasks before me.
Sometimes the routine seems endless and I find myself lacking fulfillment in this aspect of my life and yet it requires the majority of my time and focus.
Jesus, please help me to find the hidden strength that only comes from seeking You to deal with the negative attitudes that tempt me daily.
Help me also to look beyond the immediate to the deeper meaning of each day's task.
Above all, help me to keep my eyes on spiritual truths as I meditate upon Your Word and apply its meaning to my life each new day.
It is in this faithful practice of placing You at the center of my focus that I can rise above the difficulties that come my way.
Restore to me, this day, the joy of Your salvation and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
