Morning Prayer

 
Morning Prayer
We begin the day alone,
honoring this life, with all its potentials and possibilities.
We begin our day with trust,
knowing we are created for loving encounter.
We begin our day with hope,
knowing the day can hold
love, kindness,
forgiveness and justice.
We recall our day yesterday,
May we learn, may we love,
May we live on.
We make room for the unexpected,
May we find wisdom and life
In the unexpected.
Help us to embrace possibility,
Respond graciously to disappointment
And hold tenderly those we encounter
Help us to be fully present to the day.
We pray for all whose day will be difficult,
May we support, may we listen,
May we change.
We resolve to live life in its fullness:
We will welcome the people who’ll be part of this day,
We will greet God in the ordinary and hidden moments.
We will live the life we are living.
May we find the wisdom we need,
God be with us.
May we hear the needs of those we meet,
God be with us.
May we love the life that we are given.
God be with us.
