     Gracious Heavenly Father, we pray and thank You for giving us another new week.
     Lord, You know the roads ahead of us that we would walk today / this week.  Be with us throughout our journey as we walk through them.
     Lord, carry us if we falter in our steps and feel too weak to move. Forgive us if we stumble in them, so that we do not drift away from our relationship with You. 
     Lord, help us to be the people of prayer to drop to our knees with confidence, trusting fully well that You alone can help us bounce back from whatever challenges or concerns we have petitioned to You.
     Lord, help us to pursue Your nearness so that we may receive Your goodness.  Embolden us to extend Your nearness to those around us. Be our stronghold, always. 
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
