A Brand New Day
by
Barbara Philbrook
A brand new day
it's just begun,
I started it off by calling on God's own Son.
I knelt in
prayer and surrendered my will,
knowing if I didn't the day would be all up hill.
I gave control
of my mind my thoughts and desires,
also my reactions to what transpires.
I asked for
directions where my feet should tread,
and for strength to handle all the things I dread.
I asked for
temperance where it is needed,
and that the Holy Spirit's guidance is heeded.
I sought
ambition and discernment and tolerance too,
then I thanked God for all the good He will do.
I offered to
serve in any way He desire,
and prayed that reaching His will is to what I aspire.
I sought love
peace and harmony,
in the lives of all those who mean so much to me.
I asked that
angels be with each of you throughout the day,
so you not be hurt in any way.
I covered you
each in His blood for protection,
and asked that none of you feel any dejection.
I thanked God
for the air that we breath,
and for Him supplying all of the things we need.
I thanked Him
for our love and grace,
and that one day we'll all see Him face to face.
I thanked Him
for every good thing in our life,
but then I thanked Him too for our trials and strife.
I thanked Him
that we grow during adversity,
and that He is continually watching over you and me.
I thanked Him
for allowing a choice to be made,
and that He was listening when we knelt and prayed.
I thanked Him
for this day that is new,
but most of all I thanked Him for you.
