Lord, We thank you for this day, for the joy of the morning, the love of this family, waking from slumber in this house, this home you have provided, going out into the world, to college, to school, to work, into the world, not of this world, for you have touched our hearts and our lives, have cleaned some of the grime of this life, some of our scar tissue, to give us peace. Grant us peace this day Lord, watch over us be with us on the path you have laid before us this day we pray our creator and sustainer help us focus on what we must do today, help us be satisfied, gratified, with what we do in your name today Lord. Give us strength for today and rest tonight Lord so we may do your will and your work today and the rest of our lives as individuals as a family in your name Amen
