Morning Prayer
Opening Prayer
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, help me to do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
Confession
Most merciful God, I confess that I have sinned against you in through, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone.
I have not loved you with my whole heart; and have not loved my neighbor as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
