Morning Prayer
Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:3
God, this is the day that You have made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. With gratitude, I thank You for granting me another day of life, full of possibilities and promise. With gratitude, I thank You for Your ultimate gift of love for me, in the form of Your Son, my Savior. Because of this overwhelming gift that I often cannot comprehend, I seek to be obedient to You. Today, teach me Your ways that I may rely on Your faithfulness. Help me use time wisely, to accomplish the holy work You have for me.
I don’t know what this day holds, but I know that You hold the day. It was You that laid the foundations of the Earth and understand every part of it. I know that you keep the sun in the sky, the stars in place, and I can be confident that You hold me secure.
Throughout this day, may I be keenly aware of Your presence in everything I do. May my life be a living example and may others see Christ in me. There are many that are hurting in this world – use me to be an instrument of Your grace, love and hope to someone today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
