Morning Prayer

I give thanks unto You, Adonai,
that, in mercy,
You have restored my soul within me.
Endless is Your compassion;
great is Your faithfulness.
I thank You, Adonai,
for the rest You have given me through the night
and for the breath that renews my body and spirit.
Amen.

Opening Sentance

thumb If I take the wings of the dawn, and alight at the uttermost parts of the sea, even there, O Lord, your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me fast. . . . .Psalm 139:8,9.

Always be joyful, pray continually;
give thanks, whatever happens.

Psalm 33:1-12

1 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
    Praise befits the upright.
2 Praise the Lord with the lyre;
    make melody to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song;
    play skilfully on the strings, with loud shouts.

4 For the word of the Lord is upright,
    and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
    the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
    and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
    he put the deeps in storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
    let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded, and it stood firm.

10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
    he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands for ever,
    the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord,
    the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.

A Morning Prayer for Courage Like Charles Fox

Adonai,
grant me tanacious, winsome courage,
as I go through this day.
When I am tempted to give up,
help me to keep going.
Grant me a cheerful spirit,
even when things don't go my way.
And give me the courage to do,
what needs to be done.
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.
