Morning Prayer

Good morning! I may have shared this morning prayer before. It's worth sharing again. It's written by Macrina Wiederkehr.

 

Oh, Light of God,

Anointed by your morning light, I lift my spirit to receive the gift of this new day. Open my eyes to the beauty that surrounds me that I may walk through this day with the kind of awareness that calls forth grateful living. In all of creation, let me see the brightness of your face. Shine in my heart, and on my life, filling me with joy, creativity, hope, and laughter. Draw me into the radiant glory of your presence, and into the small lights of those with whom I live and work. Inspire me to take time for those who are discouraged. May I live with the kind of presence that enables others to feel at home. Great Dawn of God. Hear my prayer. Amen
