Morning Prayer |
|||||||
|
+
O God, this morning I have come, into the quietness and stillness
of your presence, to begin the day, so that out of this moment,
I may take with me a quiet serenity, which will last me through
the rough, and the smooth of this day's life.
+
I have come to find wisdom, so that today I may not make any foolish
mistakes, that I may know when to speak, and when to keep silent,
when to act, and when to refrain from action.
+
I have come to find peace, so that nothing may worry or upset me,
all through today.
+
I have come to find courage, to be patient not to give up hope,
when hopes are long in coming true, to accept disappointment without
bitterness, and delay without complaint.

+
I have come to find love-to listen to your love, so that all through
today I may love, without being attached, that nothing may make
me bitter or unforgiving.
+
I have come to begin the day with you, so that I may be able to
continue it, and end it with you, without regret.
+
And I have come this day, O God, to be real, transparent as a mountain
spring, with a heart open and spontaneous as a child.
+
Hear this, my morning prayer: in the name of Jesus and for the sake
of the world. Amen-May it be so.
