The Morning Prayer

I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants—but let them not turn to folly. Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
Psalm 85:8–9 (NIV)

Psalm 85:8–9 (NIV)
Heavenly Father, as we rise to meet the dawn of this new day, we echo the words of Psalm 85, opening our ears and hearts to listen to what You have to say. We acknowledge Your promise of peace to Your people, to us, Your faithful servants. Help us to embrace Your peace and carry it throughout our day.
Lord, guide us away from folly, from the temptations and distractions that can lead us astray. Fill our hearts with discernment, that we may not only hear Your voice but also heed it in our lives.
We take comfort in knowing that Your salvation is near to those who hold You in awe and reverence. May we walk in that fear of the Lord, a holy respect that guides us closer to You.
As we go about our day, let Your glory dwell in our land, in our homes, in our workplaces, and in our relationships. Allow us to be vessels of Your peace, carriers of Your love, and instruments of Your justice.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Feel free to adapt this prayer to better suit your own beliefs and feelings.
