Morning Declaration: Psalm 118:24-25
“This is the day the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Please, Lord, please save us.
Please, Lord, please give us success.”
The Tax Collector’s Prayer (Luke 18:13)
God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13)
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power
and the glory, forever and ever. Amen
The Prayer of Mary (Luke 1:38)
Here am I, the servant of the Lord;
let it be with me according to God’s word.
Here for a few moments
you use your own words
to express the things
that are on your mind
and in your heart.
Your Heart & Mind:
Is there anything planned or expected in this day
for which you’d ask God’s help to face or accomplish?
Who would you ask God to bless in this day?
Our final prayers are all about our intention to go into the day with God.
The Prayer of Isaiah (Isaiah 6:8)
Here I am; send me.
An Artist's Prayer (Psalm 19:14)
Let the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you,
O God, my rock and my redeemer.
Breathe deeply until you are still:
Amen.
- or -
Let it be.
