Morning Prayer 04.04.22

God, the morning brings a certain excitement to my spirit, Your love is like the sun peeking through the window to let me know that You are near. The light shines within the room and pushes out the darkness of the night before. The silence of a brand new morning fills my soul with joy and encourages me to get out of bed and start this new day. Let me watch the sun, as it rises; let me give you thanks for watching over me through the night. Thank you for the rest, O Lord, and let me hold tight to Your teachings through the readings of Your word, that I may be mindful of others and offer them lovingkindness also. Amen.
