Begin the day with morning prayer
Scripture
Translation: KJVPsalms 5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Lamentations 3:22 It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
Lamentations 3:23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Reflection
Morning prayer is less about producing perfect words and more about directing the day's first attention to God.
Prayer
Lord, I bring this day to you before it begins. Direct my thoughts and my work.
Pause and consider
Set a five-minute alarm, read Psalms 5:3, and name one intention for today.
