Lord, open my spiritual eyes to see those "exceedingly good" things in my path. Forgive me for focusing on the problems in the world around me. As i keep my eyes on you and the goals you've put before me, may I go forth in faith, not in fear, so that i dont miss the beauty and blessings of each day. 

Having thus chosen our course, let us renew our trust in God and go forward without fear and with manly hearts. - Abraham Lincoln.
