The Morning Prayer
Saturday, December 30, 2023

And Mary said: "My soul praises the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is his name."
Luke 1:46–49 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, as I welcome this new day, my soul rejoices in Your goodness, just as Mary sang praises in her heart. Your mercy and grace have been my stronghold, and I am humbled by Your boundless love.

With the dawn, I remember Mary's words, "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." Let my day be filled with a similar spirit of gratitude and joy, acknowledging Your mighty works in my life and in the world.

You, O Lord, are holy and Your name is to be revered. In Your compassion, You have regarded my humble state, lifting me up through Your grace. May my actions today reflect the honor and respect You deserve.

As the sun rises, I am reminded of Your faithfulness and unending mercy. May my heart be open to Your guidance, and may my hands be ready to serve Your purpose.

In the quiet of this morning, I thank You for the blessings You have poured upon me. Help me to be a vessel of Your love and kindness, spreading Your light wherever I go.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

This prayer draws from the themes of joy, gratitude, humility, and service found in Mary's song, making it a fitting way to start the day with reflection and praise.
