My Morning Prayer


My Father,

As I begin my day, I want to express my love for you. I see your creation all around me. I see your hand in the sunrise every morning as the day awakens. I love you, Lord, and I am so thankful that you love me--just as I am. You know that sometimes I don't feel worthy of this love you have for me. Please help me to realize that you will always love me. All I need to do is to come to you, and I will feel that love flow through me.

I pray that you guide me through my day, making me aware of your presence in every instance. Help me to seek your guidance, moment by moment.

Lord, please help me to see others as you see them, not as I see them. We are all works in progress. Grant me patience as I go through this day. Guard my thoughts and my tongue--let there only be good and pure thoughts and words.

And most of all, Lord, let me be an example of you so that others may see and come to know you. Put the words that I am to say into my mouth because you know that I sometimes just don't have them on my own.

I love you, Jesus. Fill my heart today and everyday with your love.

In your precious name.......

A New Day Begins

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." Isaiah 30:21



My Father,

As I begin this new day that You have given me, help me to carry Your word with me. Let me feel your presence with me always and neither turn to the right or to the left, but always walk the straight and narrow path with You.

Help me to discern Your voice from all the others around me and give me the courage and strength to listen, follow and walk with You.

In Jesus' precious name I pray,

Amen.
