How many times are our days full of work, family, friends and other activities where at the end of the day we collapse in exhaustion and are guilty of not praying?

Lord, give me the grace for today

Help me to embrace every challenge, to be open to all you have to give, and to see all as opportunity. One moment at a time. One person at a time. One gift at a time. Help me to breathe in your spirit and to exhale any fear that may cause me to question and to worry. The world causes stress.
You offer peace. I choose you!
Amen

Here I am Lord; I come to do your will.
Speak, for your servant is listening.
Amen
