Lord, Tomorrow, and the week ahead, will ask things of me that tonight I do not yet know. There will be conversations I have not prepared for, burdens I cannot predict, bills awaiting provision, decisions requiring wisdom, and moments when I will need strength greater than my own. Go before me. Enter the rooms before I do. Stand beside me in places where I feel alone. Restrain my tongue when anger rises, steady my heart when fear speaks, and keep me from carrying tomorrow as though You will not be there. Bless the work of my hands, even when it feels small. Let me earn honestly, lead gently and return home with enough tenderness left for those who waited for me. Guard my family while I am away. Remember the prayers my parents once spoke over me. And when I become too tired to pray well, receive even my silence as the prayer of a man who still believes. I do not ask for a week without difficulty. I ask for the grace not to become bitter within it. Give me courage for what must be faced, humility for what must be surrendered, and peace for what remains beyond my control. And if the week does not unfold as I hope, remind me that disappointment does not mean I have been abandoned. Walk with me, Lord. That will be enough. Amen. - @thesoulful_writer
