“ A morning prayer is a wonderful way to
focus your time and attention on seeking God ´s plan for the day
ahead. Whether you need encouragement, peace, strength, or rest, God can meet
you in a very real and present way when you come before Him with a humble
heart. Seek God ´s presence each morning before your energy and
attention are pulled by all the tasks you have ahead. ”
Lord, may nothing separate me from You today. Teach me how
to choose only Your way today so each step will lead me closer to You. Help me
walk by the Word and not my feelings. Help me to keep my heart pure and
undivided. Protect me from my own careless thoughts, words, and actions. And
keep me from being distracted by MY wants, MY desires, MY thoughts on how
things should be. Help me to embrace what comes my way as an opportunity...
rather than a personal inconvenience. And finally, help me to rest in the truth
of Psalm 86:13, ´Great is your
love toward me. ´ You already see the ways I will fall short and mess
up. But right now, I consciously tuck Your whisper of absolute love for me into
the deepest part of my heart. I recognize Your love for me is not based on my
performance. You love me warts and all. That ´s amazing. But what
´s most amazing is that the Savior of the world would desire a few
minutes with me this morning. Lord, help me to forever remember what a gift it
is to sit with You like this.
Amen.
