The Morning Prayer
Sunday, November 5, 2023

The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him, a mighty shield and strong support, a shelter from scorching wind and a shade from noonday sun, a guard against stumbling and a help against falling.
Ecclesiasticus 34:19 (NRSVUV)

Gracious God, Source of all light and understanding, with the break of dawn, we are reminded of Your unwavering love and the beauty of creation that surrounds us. Just as You declared in Ecclesiasticus, "One who prepares his offering with a generous spirit will be accepted", let our hearts be generous in our offerings to You this day.

May our thoughts, words, and actions emanate a spirit of gratitude and compassion. Instill in us a desire to give more than we take, to love without reservation, and to serve without expectation.

Help us to recognize the blessings You've bestowed upon us, and grant us the grace to share these blessings with others. May our daily tasks and challenges be our offerings, given with a generous spirit, knowing that they will find acceptance in Your eyes.

Guide us throughout this day and lead us in the path of righteousness. May our every step be a testament to our faith and love for You. Amen.

I hope this prayer resonates with your morning reflections. Adjustments can be made as needed to better suit your personal beliefs and sentiments.
