Prayer at the End of Morning Prayer Time

Thank You for Your love and Your grace in allowing me this time of prayer with You this morning.

The world, the flesh, and the devil would all propose what I should focus on and run after today. I beg You to help me, instead, to know Your will. Help me to see what You desire of me each moment of this day. Give me the wisdom, strength and fortitude I need to avoid distractions and to discern what You want me to do and to focus on and carry out that which Wisdom reveals. Help me to work and live at a pace of peace and prayerfulness always attentive to You, able to hear Your voice and to say no, to anything that hinders my path to You, and a complete yes to every holy prompting from You. Help me this day to humbly and purposely live, light, and lead others to the path of union with You and to tell everyone about this way of life [Acts 5:20].

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
