Morning in the Fall
Morning Prayer in the Fall
Getting started:
In the name of God:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
-or-
In the name of God:
Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer. Amen.
Morning Declaration: Psalm 118:24-25*
“Give thanks to the Holy One who is good,
for God’s mercy endures for ever.
Give thanks to the God of gods,
for God’s mercy endures for ever.
Give thanks to the Ruler of rulers,
for God’s mercy endures for ever.”
A Humble Prayer of Need (Luke 18:13)
God be merciful and help me,
because I'm not all I should be.
Praying Like Jesus (Matthew 6:9-13)
God of heaven and earth
and all that is:
I honor you and
I commit myself to you.
I will follow your Way
in all times and places,
and I'm content
with what you bring me today.
I'm only human
and I need your help
to share with others
the grace I need from you.
Thank you,
for being my strength
when I am weak,
and my wisdom
when I speak.
Thank you,
for the peace to go forward
and for always being with me.
Amen.
Praying Like Mary (Luke 1:38)
Here I am, trusting in God;
I want God’s will to be done in me.
Your Heart & Mind:
Take a moment to reflect on
these prayers and to ask for
God's help with the day.
A Prayer of Dedication (Psalm 19:14)
"Let the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you, O God,
my rock and my redeemer."
Breathe deeply until you are still,
and finish:
Amen.
- or -
Let it be.
