Prayer for Today

Heavenly Father, l am so thankful for another year. I am here because you allowed me to be here. While I am here, help me to do your will. Help me to stay focused on where you are trying to take me so I can get there. Thank you for keeping my mind focused on you . I praise you for what you are about to do for me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
