A Christian morning prayer
Begin with gratitude and a concrete intention, without trying to control everything the day will bring.
Understand the context
Psalm 5 gives voice to morning prayer. Matthew 6 places everyday needs within trust in God. Together they offer a way to begin without turning prayer into a guarantee of success or immunity from hardship.
An original prayer to adapt
Father, thank you for this new day. I entrust to you what lies ahead and what I cannot foresee. Give me patience to listen, courage to act justly and humility to ask for help. Keep my words from needless harm. Following Jesus, teach me to notice the person I might otherwise overlook. Amen.
