Daily Prayers For October
As I Start My Day
Holy God, I am humbled and filled with thanksgiving for the blessing of your presence in my life. Thank you for the many blessings you have bestowed upon me. I confess my weakness and ask for your Holy Spirit to guide and motivate my efforts to be a faithful disciple in your name. By your holy word, I accept Jesus Christ as the revealer of your love and purpose for the world. I repent of my many sins. I humbly accept your forgiveness. I will strive each day to live by the teachings and example of Jesus our Christ. The weight of the concerns I carry are wearisome and heavy. Lift my burdens and stay beside me. Show me the way of service and compassion. I pray in your holy name, Amen.

As I Travel Through My Day
Loving and constant God, I carry the weight of concern for the welfare of others. I carry the anxiety of unsafe possibilities for those in harms way. Yet, I also carry the promise that you have everything in your control. Grant me patience as the world's pace hurries passed me. Show me how I might be a steward to promote your peace, empathy, and compassion to a world and people in need. This I pray throughout my day. In your name, Amen.
