The Morning Prayer
Monday, December 18, 2023

Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. O you who hear prayer, to you all men will come.
Psalm 65:1–2 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, in the stillness of this morning, I come to You in prayer, for to You, O God, does prayer come. Praise awaits You, to fulfill Your promise of grace. You who hear prayer, to You all people will come.

I stand in awe of Your deeds, Lord; with the sunrise, I see Your creation awaking, a testament to Your care. As the day breaks, help me to remember that in the multitude of Your mercy, I find my rest and provision.

Grant me the grace to face this day's tasks, to work with integrity, and to extend Your love to those around me. In moments of challenge, may I find strength in Your presence, and in times of joy, may my heart return to You in gratitude.

Bless this day, O God, keep me in Your righteous path, for You are where my journey begins and ends. In You, I place my trust and my hours, knowing that You are ever faithful.

In Your holy name, I pray, Amen.

Feel free to use this as a starting point for your own personal reflection or daily prayer practice.
