Morning Prayers to Bless Your Day

Creator of the Morning,

The new rays of morning light remind me of the streams of love that you are sending toward me today.

I will meditate on the many facets of your love that sparkle more beautifully than the most brilliant diamond. I will meditate on your compassion, your mercy, your forgiveness, and your faithfulness; they are all reflected in the beauty of your love.

I look out my window and observe the beauty of the trees that reach their limbs up to you in praise.

Lord, I lift up my heart, and I lift up my hands to you in praise.*

You are worthy of my praise.

Amen

The following verse was in my mind
as I wrote the above prayer:

  "Thus will I bless thee while I live:

I will lift up my hands in thy name."

Psalm 63:4 KJV

Morning Prayers continued:

Almighty God,

I praise the heavenly director of my days. Your powerful hands protect me. Your gentle touch fashions me according to the beauty of your plan for my life.

Thank you for escorting me though this day. Thank you for going before me and preparing the way.

Lord, your nuggets of truth are pure gold to me. I will allow your Scriptures to go deep into my heart. I am being transformed by your Word this day.

Your plans are much better, much more wonderful, much more desirable than any plan that I have ever dreamed of. I will allow you to speak to my heart and challenge me to come up higher in serving you.

I pour out my strength, my time, and my determination to you. Use them for your purposes. Use my thoughts, my emotions, and my will for your purposes. I give you my utmost. I trust you to take me to my divine destiny.

Amen
