DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
Our theme for today’s prayer
is to pray for the strength to be positive in our outlook in life.
God our Father,
There are many difficulties and challenges in life,
and we see or experience more of them each day we
live.
Give us the power of your Holy Spirit
that we may have courage and determination,
and may live in such a way that we encourage one another.
Enable us to transform whatever is negative,
and remain positive in attitude throughout our lives.
Lighten our darkness and keep us safe.
Amen
