Morning prayer

Day 31 · United with you today

Good morning. Before your day begins, take a pause. Breathe slowly and remember that God is here with you.

Praise

¹Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. ²But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. ³And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The Word

John 15:5

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Prayer

United with you today

Jesus, my Lord, you are the vine and I am one of your branches. Without you I cannot bear real fruit. Today I don't want to try to live on my own, as if I didn't need you. Keep me united with you through every hour of the day: when I work, when I rest, when I talk and when I am silent. May my thoughts return to you again and again. May your life flow into mine and show in the way I love and serve. Every good thing I do today will be thanks to you. Amen.

For others

The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Blessing

Romans 15:13

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

May God be with you today.
