A Prayer for a Hard Day

You know those days when you know that need to be aware of God’s presence in your life because it is going to be a hard, hard day? This is a prayer for those days.

God, this day is just beginning and I know it is going to be hard. I know you will be with me. I know it. And I know myself well enough to know that I will need reminders of your presence today. So remind me of your steadfast love, your wisdom, your compassion as this day unfolds. I know there is nowhere that I can go that you are not with me. Remind me of this when the way ahead isn’t easy. When worries creep in and my mind won’t slow down, be the peace that is needed. If a change in plan is needed and my idea of hope must be rewritten, be the solid rock on which I can stand. Remind me, Gracious God, because today of all days I need a reminder that you will never leave me alone. Amen.

    Thanks Susannah for the prayer for “hard days”.
    I know that God is with me, but having that prayer on the tip of my lips will remind me to stop and be fully aware presence.
    Peace and blessings,

    Amen…For sure without His presence with us we are nothing at any moment. Thanks for this great reminder and strength renewing message.
