Most Merciful God,
we offer You our thanks and praise.
The blessing of the morning light
awakens us to the sure and certain promise
that we have slept under the watchful hand of God.
And now let us rise,
and with full hearts greet the day,
emptying ourselves of all but the desire to serve You,
O God, Our Companion and Our Hope,
by serving each other and embodying your lovingkindness,
sustained by the breath you have given us.
May our restless hearts be alight with your wisdom,
O Ruler of the Ages,
and may we come to rest within the lea of your mercy,
offering You our gratitude
for your grace and presence with us
through our Savior Jesus Christ.
Whatever this day may bring,
may we remember your steadfast love with joyful hearts,
and breathe in your peace and comfort
especially in the cares and challenges we encounter.
Holy One, grant us your blessing,
and pour out your mercy upon all
whose cares are lifted before You.
Amen.
