Morning prayer
Day 7 · Awaken my ear
Good morning. Before your day begins, take a pause. Breathe slowly and remember that God is here with you.
Praise
Psalms 19:7-117The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
The Word
Isaiah 50:4The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
Prayer
Awaken my ear
Heavenly Father, just as you have woken me up this morning, awaken my ear as well to hear you. So often I start the day talking a lot and listening little. Today I want to learn like an attentive disciple. Speak to me through your Word, in the silence of prayer, and also through the people you will put in my path. Give me a wise tongue to speak a timely word to the one who is weary. May my words not wound, but encourage. Teach me to recognize your voice among so much noise and to obey it promptly. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

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
