To open the day, before reading or after
A Morning Prayer
A short prayer to pray before the day's reading, or on its own — written to be prayed in under a minute.
Lord, thank you for this new morning and for mercies I did not earn.
Steady my attention before it scatters. Give me one honest thought about you before the day takes the rest.
Whatever this day holds, let me carry it with you rather than alone.
Amen.
“It is because of Yahweh's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn't fail. They are new every morning.”
Lamentations 3:22-23 · WEB
