Daily Prayer
Father God head of my life
Help me today to get it right
Let me not hold on to yesterdays madness
But latch on to today’s gladness
Make me a better person by every second, minute and hour
Help me bloom today like a beautiful flower
May I remember who is in control
Who has the floor
Who has helped me walk through a new door
Let me not beat up on myself
Or be so frustrated with another
That it changes my attitude
Towards my sisters and my brothers
Thank you God for waking me this day
And starting me on my way
Let me not get weary by what others say
But help me to continue to pray
I ask that you make me strong when I seem weak
Help me to maintain a powerful physic
Let not my appearance seem overbearing but humble / meek
And give me the proper words to speak
Help me this day and those to follow
To understand I should never wallow
For you are my strength day and night
You provide me with an awesome might
So Father God I ask you again
To walk with me as my day begins
Stand by my side through it all
Making sure I will not fall
Help me pick the right words
When I open my mouth
Let the beauty of your love
Flow right on out
Word after word, layer after layer
This Father God is my daily prayer
