Heavenly Father,
I am tired. I am a weary. I am exhausted. Give me strength to wake in the night when my children need me and please give me energy for the day. My eyes are heavy. I call out for your provisions. Be the King of my heart and protect it so that it is guarded from anything that might cause me to act out in response to the weariness I experience.
Give me perspective and a thankful heart. Cleanse my heart before you so that I am ready to serve you, remove any bitterness that could cause a barrier between us God. Remove any offensive ways within me. Let my heart and everything that flows from it be like a pure running river, and let your word run through me like a plant taking up fresh water through its roots, restoring, replenishing and flourishing as it withers no more.
I call out to you for guidance today, Jesus. I give thanks to you for my precious children and my husband. As each one reaches out to me today, I pray that I can meet their needs, in the same way that you meet my needs. Please give me patience and compassion to serve them with love and grace, just like you shower us with your love and grace each day. I praise you that your mercies are new every morning. Grant me a willing spirit and give me the ability to worship you through all the details of the day, whatever it is that comes my way. Let all I do be carried out as worship to you Lord.
In Jesus name, Amen.
