The Morning Prayer
Wednesday, October 11, 2023

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:3–4 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, we come before You this morning with gratitude and humility, knowing that it is You who makes our path straight and our hearts whole.

Lord, as we begin this day, help us to fully trust in You, that we may do good in all our ways. May we settle ourselves in the peace and security of Your presence, enjoying the "safe pasture" that comes from living in Your will.

Father, let our delight be found in You today. Let our joy come from knowing You, loving You, and serving You. With each sunrise, may our love for You deepen and our understanding of Your grace expand.

As we align our hearts with Yours, we trust that You will grant us the desires that are in accordance with Your will. Help us to seek not our own glory, but Yours. Let our aims be so intertwined with Your purposes that our desires become a reflection of Your goodness.

May this day be filled with acts of kindness, words of love, and thoughts of compassion. May our trust in You empower us to live courageously and lovingly in a world that needs Your light.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
