Morning prayer is a powerful tool to orient our hearts and mind to God as we begin our day. By praying when we awake, we follow Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Adapted from US Marine Corps Prayer / Video from Topsail Island, NC

Almighty Father, whose command is overall and whose love never fails,

make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will.

Keep me true to my best self,

guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face my loved ones and Thee without shame or fear.

Protect my family.

If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again.
Guide me with the light of truth and grantme wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer.
Amen
