To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul. Psalm 25.1
Father, let me awaken to you today. Thank you for creating me,
redeeming me, forgiving me, and guiding me. Thank you for giving me
eternal life in and through your Son. Please continue to give me life!
Lead me by your Spirit. Enlarge my heart! Please let me live in the
light of your truth and your grace, your call on my life, and your
faithful character. Let me live a directed life. Let me take
responsibility, confidently and joyfully embracing the agency you have
given me. Let me be responsive to your work and Word.
Help me to embrace the world as the place in which you have called me to exercise
action and love.
Father, let me be awake to the world in which you have placed me. Help
me to rejoice in the world as your creation, and each new providential
moment as a stage in which you are revealing your good purposes. Help me to
embrace the world as the place in which you have called me to exercise
action and love. Lord Jesus, as you were sent by the Father, you have
sent me into the world to bear witness. Help me to reflect your character.
Father, let me be awake to each new moment of time that is open to me
for action. Help me to be a person of endurance, faithfulness,
patience. Help me to be confident about the future, trusting in your
promises, walking in the good works you have prepared for me
beforehand. Let me finish well. Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge
in you. Amen.
