YOUR WORD IS A LAMP TO MY FEET AND A LIGHT FOR MY PATH. PSALM 119:105

O God, this morning I have come into the quietness and stillness of your presence to begin this day so that out of this moment, I may take with me a quiet Serenity which will last me through the rough and tumble of this day's life.

I have come to find WISDOM so that today I may not make any foolish mistakes. I have come to find PEACE so that nothing may worry or upset me all through the day. I have come to find LOVE that all through the day nothing may make me bitter or unforgiving or unkind.

I have come to begin the day with YOU, to continue it with you and to end it with YOU, so that it will be a day which will have in it nothing to regret. Hear this morning prayer for Jesus' sake. AMEN

Lord, help me remember that every morning is a new beginning, and nothing can happen to me today that YOU and I, standing together in the strength YOU impart, can handle it and make of this day a lovely work of art.
