The Morning Prayer
Saturday, November 4, 2023

You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant.
Hebrews 12:22–24a (NIV)

Gracious and Eternal God, in the quiet stillness of this new morning, we come before You, humbly remembering that we have not come to a mountain that can be touched, with fire, darkness, gloom, and storm, but to Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem.

As the day unfolds, remind us, O Lord, that we stand in the company of innumerable angels in joyful assembly. May we carry this assurance throughout our day, knowing that we are never truly alone, but surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses.

We thank You for the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. May we cherish the bond that we share with all believers, both past and present. Strengthen our sense of community, unity, and purpose.

God, the judge of all, guide our actions and decisions today. Help us to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with You.

We are ever grateful for the spirits of righteous people made perfect. Inspired by their testimonies, may we live lives of faith, hope, and love.

This morning, Lord, we especially remember Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant. Through His sacrifice, we find grace, redemption, and the promise of eternal life.

Bless our day, Father, and may we continually look to the heavenly Jerusalem as our ultimate home, living our lives in ways that honor and glorify You.

In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.

May this prayer bring peace and strength to your morning and throughout your day.
