Prayer for May 8, 2026

Thank you, God, for this new day.  Let me enjoy all the opportunities that are before me and be open to learning new things.  May I be aware of, and responsive to, the needs of those around me today.  Give me patience when I find myself frustrated or anxious.  Let me step back and realize that there might be something I am supposed to see that whatever delay I am dealing with is helping make happen.  Help me to live this day fully and be grateful for all the many gifts you have given me. Amen
