As I open my eyes today

As it dawns to another new day
I open my eyes to thank You
and  to focus my thought first on you alone
Help me to quiet my mind and to be still in Your presence
To  know You, to love You
And to thank You for all Your goodness and mercy

This is the day You've made
And let me be glad and rejoice I'm in it
Let me be the reflection of Your love
wherever I go and whatever I do on this day
Lord, let me open my heart to receive Your light
The power of Your Holy Spirit
And the  wisdom of His knowledge
to live this day to its fullness.

Let the law of kindness be on my tongue
And truth and righteousness be my armor
Let my soul continue to boast of th Lord
and glorify Him at all times.
Let my eyes take full note of every kind gesture
the beauty of God's creation and the face of Christ
on every human being I come across today

Help me to cast away all negative thoughts
And not give into any fear or doubt
Because You had been my help
let me walk with confidence in You strength
Thank You for the gift of this day
And thank You for the beauty of the world around me
And the love and care of people around me today.
