Daily Prayer for May 2nd, 2019       

Good Thursday morning, God—thank You!! 🙂

Holy Spirit, let me forget about what I don’t have and be thankful for what I do—not feed on folly but be of good cheer. You have made laughter for me. Holy Spirit, help me to smile on my brother, laugh out loud, and dance! The joy of You Lord is my strength. Thank You, Father! In Jesus name. Amen.
