Morning Devotional

Here is a self-guided devotional to use at any time throughout the day.

1.  Opening Sentence

Arise! Shine! For your light has come.

2. Morning prayer

God to enfold me, God to surround me, God in my speaking, God in my thinking.
God in my sleeping, God in my waking, God in my watching, God in my hoping.
God in my life, God in my lips, God in my soul, God in my heart.
God in my sufficing, God in my slumber, God in mine ever-living soul,
God in mine eternity.

OR

God you are in this place, Fill us with your power, Cover us with your peace, Show us your presence.
God help us to know, We are in your hands, We are under your protection, We are covered by your love.
God we ask you today, To deliver us from evil, To guide us in our travels, To defend us from all harm.
God give us now, Eyes to see the invisible, Ears to hear your call, Hands to do your work,
And hearts to respond to your love.

OR

In the silence of the stars, In the quiet of the hills, In the heaving of the sea,
Speak, Lord.
