The Morning Prayer
Tuesday, November 28, 2023

Watch, then, because you do not know when the master of the house is coming—it might be in the evening or at midnight or before dawn or at sunrise. If he comes suddenly, he must not find you asleep. What I say to you, then, I say to all: Watch!”
Mark 13:35–37 (GNT)

Gracious Heavenly Father, as the morning sun kisses the horizon and heralds a new day, we are reminded of the words of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who urged us to remain vigilant for we know not when the Master of the house will return.

Help us, O Lord, to be watchful in our daily actions, to be prepared and ready, to serve You in truth and love. As the doorkeeper waits for the master's return, may we anticipate Your divine guidance, always alert to the nudgings of the Holy Spirit.

May our eyes be opened to the opportunities that come our way, opportunities to spread love, peace, and Your eternal message. Keep our feet firmly rooted in Your word and our hands always ready to serve.

Protect our minds from complacency, O Lord, and let not the distractions of the world cause us to slumber or drift away from our purpose. Instead, keep our hearts aflame with the desire to do Your will and to shine Your light for all to see.

As we embark on the tasks of this day, may we be reminded that every moment is precious in Your eyes. Grant us the strength and wisdom to use each second to glorify Your name, and to always be ready for Your call.

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

May this prayer nourish your spirit and bring peace to your heart as you navigate the challenges and blessings of the day ahead.
