Oh God, source of all goodness and mercy, we approach You on this new day with gratitude in our hearts. Just as Psalm 32:7 reminds us that You are our refuge, we ask that You surround us with Your grace and love in this day that begins.

Lord, as You are our safe hiding place, we ask that You protect us from adversities and dangers that may arise along the way. Give us the peace that surpasses all understanding, so that we can face challenges with courage and trust in You.

May Your constant presence be our company throughout this day, guiding us with wisdom and strengthening us with Your peace. Help us to remember that, amidst life's uncertainties, we can find security and comfort in You.

May we experience the true freedom that comes from trusting You, knowing that You are our protector and sustainer. May Your grace enable us to live according to Your teachings, spreading love and kindness wherever we go.

On behalf of all religious traditions, we pray that Your peace and blessings will be upon us this day.

Amen.

The passage from Psalms 32:7, which serves as inspiration for this prayer, says: "You are my hiding place; you preserve me from distress; you gird me with joyful songs of deliverance. (Selah)". These verses emphasize the protection and refuge we find in God, as well as the joy and freedom He offers us when we trust in Him.
