I come before You with a grateful heart, thankful for the gift of time You have graciously bestowed upon me. Each day is an opportunity, a canvas of possibilities that You lay before me. Help me, Lord, to be a wise steward of this precious gift.
Teach me to recognize and prioritize what truly matters, so that I may use my time to serve You and others wholeheartedly. In moments when I am overwhelmed, remind me to seek Your guidance, that I may find balance and clarity. Help me to be present, making the most of each moment You grant me.
Lord, grant me the wisdom to discern when to work diligently and when to rest to renew my spirit. May my days be filled with purposeful actions that reflect my devotion to You. Let my management of time be a testimony of my love for You and my desire to live according to Your will.
In Your name, I trust and pray.
Amen.
