Throughout this blog there are stories of how my various practices have transformed me and helped me arrive at a place of peace in my life.  As I lay in bed this morning, keeping to my morning routine of prayer and meditation, I couldn’t help but be amazed at how the prayers that are part of my morning ritual have truly been answered.  So in the next few days, I will be posting them.  I hope that they will be a source of inspiration and hope for you all.  Use them as they are, change them to fit your needs, but most importantly PRAY them!

Morning Prayer

Lord Jesus, I give you my hands to do your work

I give you my feet to go your way

I give you my eyes to see as you do

I give you my tongue to speak your words

I give you my mind that you may think in me

I give you my spirit that you may pray in me

Above all I give you my heart, that you may

love in me, Your Father and all mankind.

I give you my whole self, that you may grow in me

so that it is You, Lord Jesus, who live and work and pray in me.

AMEN!
