God of daily life,
accompany me through this day.
God of love,
open my eyes and ears to the people around me.
God of hope,
grant me confidence in moments that unsettle me.
God of wisdom,
help me in making thoughtful decisions.
God of strength,
fill me with your life-giving energy.
God of silence,
refresh me with your calm.
God of peace,
bless my thoughts and feelings,
and help me to carry your light into the world.
Amen

Last year I wrote a prayer, which appeared in a german magazine. I´ve printed lots of postcards with my prayer until I noticed, that my sisters and brothers from Ghana would prefer an english version. So I asked my sister-in-law to rectify my translation – and here it is!
I hope that my prayer will spread out and encourage christians all over the world. Please ask me before using and printing it, all rights reserved. God bless you!
Mein Gebet „Gott des Alltags“ habe ich auf Englisch übersetzt (Danke an meine Schwägerin für die Korrektur), damit auch Christinnen und Christen aus anderen Ländern es verstehen. Alle Rechte liegen bei mir, gern kann es mit Rücksprache in Gebetskreisen und Gottesdiensten genutzt werden.
