Prayers for tomorrow

My prayer as I fall asleep tonight...

I want to be a better Mommy tomorrow.
I will be patient and not raise my voice. I will take deep breaths. I will not react in anger.
I will laugh more and play on the floor with my children. I will look them in the eye and give them my attention.
I will be present and intentional.
I will make the time and effort to feed them healthy foods.
I will forgive myself and be gracious with myself.

Help me be mindful of these things throughout my day.
Thank you for these precious children you have entrusted to Rob and me.
Help me be the kind of Mommy I want to be tomorrow.
One day at a time.

I want to be better with my eating/exercise tomorrow.
I will not drink soda.
I will not eat fast food.
I will be mindful of the foods I put in my body.
I will treat my body kindly.
I will make time to exercise.
I will be a better example to my children with healthy eating and a more active lifestyle.
I will not live for the moment but with my ultimate healthy goal in mind.

Help me be mindful of these things tomorrow.
Thank you for this body you have given me.
Help me be the kind of healthy woman I want to be tomorrow.
One day at a time.
