Loving God,
I pray for courage as I begin this day, for I understand there is work to be done, burdens to be carried, feelings to be shared, and joys to be celebrated.
Grant me the courage to be silent that I may hear your voice; to persevere, that I may share your life; and to remember, lest I forget the way by which your have led me.
And when this day is done, Loving God, may I have the courage to see your guiding hand in the friendships that have been made, in the hurts that have been healed, and in the strength that has been given.
Amen.
