Good morning, good God!
This morning, Lord,
I offer you that place in my heart
most in need
of your peaceful presence,
your gentle touch,
your calming voice,
your mending stitch,
your cleansing grace,
your healing balm,
your gift of faith,
your kiss of mercy,
your arm’s strength,
your Spirit’s wisdom,
your consoling word,
your compassionate comfort
and care…
So, give me the grace, Lord,
to open my heart
in the places where I most need you:
in my loneliness, loss and grief,
my brokenness, sorrow and sin,
my confusion, doubt and fear,
in my wounded body and soul
and in every place
where I’m short of confidence,
hope and trust, conviction
and blessed assurance…
That’s what I offer this morning, Lord,
and that’s my prayer for today;
be generous and kind when you answer me
and gentle in touching my heart…
