Good morning, Lord.
Thank You for this day.
Let me spend this day with You,
At work and e'en at play.
Be my close companion Lord,
And not just for today,
But keep Thee close beside me ,
That I won't lose my way.
I am weak and often find,
I'm tempted Lord, to stray;
To do things that displease You,
And make You turn away.
I don't wish to be embarrassed,
Whene'er You look at me.
Cleanse me Lord of sin and shame,
That I may be set free;
Free from anger, hate and lust,
From greed and jealousy,
That I will be found pleasing,
Whene'er You look at me.
Remove from deep within my heart,
The fear residing there,
That I may walk with head held high,
And never have a care;
For You My Lord are judge of all,
And You know me far better,
Than anyone can know me Lord,
'Twas You who cut my fetters.
Now let Your angel guard me,
And guide me straight to You,
And let the trail I leave behind,
To be found straight and true.
I wish to be Thy servant.
I wish to serve none other.
Show me how to do this best,
And help me teach my brothers.
Morning Prayer
It’s good to get up in the morning
To spend time with Jesus alone.
The dark night is gone
Today lies ahead
I need Him to lead me along.
Without Him today could be useless
I need Him each step of the way
How much, oh how much I need Jesus
And pray like He did every morning
For His wonderful Father to tell Him
His purpose for just this one day.
“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.” Mark 1:35, KJV
Power Of The Prayer
Praying. Morning. Prepare the day. The life
Every morning. Yes. Important. Believe it
Believe it. Make life. Do life. With belief
Beleive it
Your life
Will be
Great
MORNING RUN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
morning run
wind whispers through leaves
thoughts scatter
cool, crisp air
breath a visible prayer
silent confessions
morning reflection
joining her hands in prayer
a moth rests its wings
Morning breaks in upon my bed
welcome thoughts stir this sleepy head
banishing fear, dismissing dread.
Summoning sparkles in my eyes,
on waking up, daybreak supplies
hope-filled words, "Look to the skies!"
And I thank Jesus as I rise.
He hears the prayers I pray each night.
My Savior dawns with strength and light.
I love you Lord with all my might;
I trust you, God and your insight.

Lord,
Bless my thoughts and words this day,
supply the words that you’d have me say.
That I might witness to others about you,
from early morn until my day’s through.
For “the fields are white and laborers few,”
Guide me LORD in all you’d have me do.
Then when at last the evening sun has set,
make this day one that others won’t forget.
AMEN
My God,
I thank you for your light
to shine upon my path this day.
May I see all whom I meet
with your eyes,
with your compassion,
with your empathy.
May I hear as you hear,
act as you would act,
speak as you would speak,
With all whom I meet this day.
May I get out of the way
so you can walk through me
to do your will.
I give back to you
your gift of this day.
May I live these gifted hours
as would you
Until sunset returns
another end of day.
My God
I thank you for your light
To shine upon my path.

The sonship speaks
to ears where you listen
For
I Am
That Which Is
YOU
Soon the picture-show
the rodeo
will turn faster and faster
keep me as still as a painted sky
as a stillness between heartbeats
within the within
I take upon me
the Now.
My Door is open.
The new dawn awaits
Your footsteps
and my shoes
Let us begin
let this world
know
there is no beginning
for the ones that know
no ending
Arh M E N.
I am your enthusiasm
That helps you learn a new thing.
I am your hand mirror
Beholding you on a bright morning.
I am your sandals
That caress your soft soles.
I am a whispered prayer
Hanging while you doze.
I am your blanket
Keeping you warm at night.
I am your luck that flies by day
To make things go right.
I am the one in your life
Who stays near and keeps you -
If only you knew.
Oh Lord our God Almighty,
Immeasurable God,
Thank you for allowing us to breathe fresh air,
To see a glimpse of your loving-kindness,
Help us to acknowledge your power this morning,
To trust you beyond our imaginations throughout this day,
Grant us our heart desires according to your will,
Amen
When I’ve a bit of attitude,
my Missy teaches gratitude.
At every meal, she salivates;
wagging her tail, she cleans her plate.
Do I pant such for thee, O Lord?
Or only when I can afford
some spare coin on a Sunday morn,
forgetting the high cost you’ve born.
Be gentle, Lord, and by your grace,
remind me that you’ve set a place
A banquet, no mere kibble there:
Forgive and draw me near, my prayer.
What brings the sun? Lord, You alone do know.
I hold the day but loosely in my hand.
Indeed, I have my plan, my outline for
the day, but want am I to gain control
Of all the heavy tidings of this world.
So I will make no oath and humbly ask
that all my yesses simply be in you.
If I must die that Christ might in me live,
Then I shall not object to waning self -
Instead affirming who it is that I,
Already and not yet, am in Your eye
And by Your blood transforming and transformed.
Therefore, dear sun, shine bright upon my face,
Let me not utter a complaint at hands
That go astray, at vines that catch the feet,
At all the little signs that should remind
Me of my place in this, Your wondrous world.
If you woke up today, thank God and Pray!
A day to live, love and do your best,
Till His sun, sets, beautifully in the West.
Be kind, be loving and be true.
After all, remember the Master, who created you!

Thank you God for waking me up this morning
And starting me on my way.
Even though I don’t deserve it,
You blessed me one more day.
Thank you for blessing my family and my friends.
No one called me with bad news.
You’re awesome Lord! I love you.
Your will is mine to choose.
I choose Your will not mine Lord.
I want to walk with You.
I want to stop wearing a mask to church
And do what You told me to.
I want to pay my tithes and offerings
But the bills keep growing and growing.
I need to trust You Lord and understand
That I’m reaping what I’ve been sowing.
Thank You Lord for all You do
Help me to be obedient.
In you is everything I need
Your love is the main ingredient.
Thank You Lord for this moment.
I want to do your will while I can.
Thank you for your grace and mercy
In Jesus’ name
Amen
