You are ushering in another day
untouched
and freshly new,
so here I come to ask You God
if You'll renew me too?
Forgive the many errors, that
I made
yesterday, and let me try
again dear God, to walk closer
in Thy Way.
But Father, I am well aware
I can't make
it on my own.
So take my hand and hold it tight
for I can't walk alone.
Thank you Lord!
Morning Prayer
Please take a moment to relax your mind and humble your heart to focus on Christ. Allow God
to be the only person on your mind while you read this prayer........ If we can take the time to read long jokes, stories,
etc., we should give the same respect to this prayer. Friends who pray together, stay together. Dear Lord, I thank You for
this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an
understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done,
said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear
my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over
things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let
me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of God. And when this world closes in on me,
let me remember Jesus' example - to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond
my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me
that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement
for others. I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I believe. I believe
that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in
their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray
that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in
Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth
that confesses them willingly. This is my prayer.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
This the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
Today is the day you made, O God. My heart rejoices in this day and the opportunities
it holds for me to experience more of Your loving presence.
I open my spirit to You, and I give thanks for Your life that fills every cell of my body
and life.
I open my eyes to You, and I give thanks for Your light that warms and brightens my day.
I open my heart to You, and I give thanks for Your life that fills me with compassion,
understanding, and peace.
I open my soul to You, and I give thanks for Your presence in my life and in the lives
of the people I hold dear.
Thank You, God, for all that You are and for the blessings that fill every moment of evey
day.

and in the next for all eternity.
Other Prayers
Merciful Jesus, I consecrate myself today and always to Your Most Sacred Heart. Most Sacred
Heart of Jesus I implore, that I may ever love You more and more. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You! Most Sacred
Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Your love for me. Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make
my heart like Your heart.
The Morning Place
The gates of morning open, And there at break of day I hear my Fellow Members Inviting
me to pray. Amid the cares before me I kneel with quite heart, To let His peaceful presence A Blessing sweet impart. And through
the days that follows I find God everywhere, Because I stopped to seek Him In the morning place of prayer.
With God
Begin the day with God: Kneel down to Him in prayer; Lift up thy heart to His abode, And
seek His love to share. Open the book of God: And read a portion there. That it might hallow all thy thoughts And sweeten
all they care. Go through the day with God: Whatever thy work may be, Wherever thou art- at home or not He still is near to
thee.
