A Prayer for Grace and Guidance

Come ever-present God

and be with me.

You alone know

and understand all that is before me.

Come help me trust in you.

Slow my pace to see you;

quicken my senses to hear you.

Guide my steps to follow you and your ways;

let there be a cadence of grace with me.

I need your grace and your guidance

in all that lies before me -

all the tasks and decisions,

all the worries and uncertainties,

all the opportunities that await.

Give me wisdom to know where to focus my attention.

Give me clarity and courage:

an ease of thought,

and the ability to respond in love

in all that I do and say.

Come Lord Jesus,

come be with me.

Grant me a cadence of grace

in my mind

and my heart

as we live this day together.
