Psalm 127 (NLT)
Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.

Before you start something new, always put it entirely in the hands of the Lord, be it a new romantic relationship, the start of a business, the beginning of a career, the birth of a child, even your daily activities, however simple they may seem.
Lift your eyes to heaven and make your plans together with God. Let Him be your “majority partner” in every area of your life. In that way you can ensure your efforts will always produce the most secure results.
Remain in His presence throughout the day, praying not only for your own projects and needs, but also for your city and your nation that God will be merciful and gracious toward them.
Guard your heart. Speak peace and blessings to those around you. Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile. We are living in difficult times.
You may want to pray something like this: Father God, I recognize that many times I acted alone in my strength and the fruit was scarce. On top of that, things are earth are increasingly complex and conflicted. And so I want to place everything that I am pursuing and building in Your hands so that You can touch it and bless it and guide me in it. I also ask You to take care of my city and to heal our nation. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
Have a blessed day!
