In the Morning

In the Morning

This “In the Morning” prayer, from The Book of Common Prayer on page 461 is one of the Prayers for use by a Sick Person, but it seems a good prayer for any day. 

Let us pray.

This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
