Morning Prayer.
Of course, the Lord's Prayer is always a good place to start. Here are some of the elements that have become my habit over the years: Good morning Father, Lord Jesus; You are holy and righteous.
You have made all things and "for Your pleasure they exist and have their being." And so, I exist and have my being at Your pleasure.
"Cause me to know Your lovingkindness in the morning"; (at this point I am compelled to remember the cross and significant/critical interventions of God's deliverance).
I have been accepted/adopted by You; and according to John 17, I am in You and You are in me. Help me to visualize You in the heavenly realm—to "fix my eyes on Jesus." And also, that You are in me by the Holy Spirit so that I am a member of the body of Christ.
Your will be done in my life today. May I stay close to You; and may You use me in Your ministry. Amen.
Hope this is a blessing for those needing a place to start. Consider sharing your own morning prayer.
