Heavenly Father, we thank You for this day for the                            
opportunity to serve You.  We thank You for Your                               
word, which instructs us to make a joyful noise unto                           
the Lord, to serve the Lord with gladness, to come                             
before His presence with singing to know that the                              
Lord, He is God.  It is He that has made us and not                            
we ourselves, and we are His people, the sheep of His                          
pasture.  Enter into His gates with singing and into                           
His courts with praise.  Be thankful unto Him and                              
bless His name, for the Lord is good, His mercy is                             
everlasting and His truth endures to all generations.                          
                                                                               
Lord, we pray for a right attitude with every                                 
challenge that we face today, knowing that it is not                           
the gail but the set of our sail that determines our                           
course.  We pray that You'll help us to set our course                         
with an attitude of gratitude with every situation that                        
we face.
