Short Sunday morning prayer to God
(a prayer for personal devotion)

Dear Lord,

Sometimes there seems so much to achieve on a Sunday. I confess that I find it hard to truly give you time. Yet I know that when I do stop, come before you Heavenly Father and lay down my stresses and tasks, I discover that I am rich. I find that I have more patience to achieve these concerns, more courage to approach them and more peace within them.

So I commit to always trying to spend the beginning of this day with you. Here I know I will find more love than I believed possible, new peace in my heart and renewed strength to face the coming week.

Thank you.

Amen.

Thankful Sunday Blessing

Rest your soul on this Sabbath day,
Pause to breathe, come dwell and pray.
Lie your head upon kingdom truth,
Do not strive or rush, let God’s spirit soothe.
Lift your eyes, to see love in flight,
Come and gather in heavens light.

Inspirational morning prayer

Father, clear my sleepy head and fill my mind with expectation
Awake my slow body and energise my heart with love in action.

Is full of promise because of you.

"Today I breathe in the extraordinary victory of your life"

Easter Sunday morning prayer

Lord,

Today I breathe in the extraordinary victory of your life, death and resurrection. I look and see my own feet balancing upon an amazing path of truth. I step back away from the confines of my own understanding to connect with your eternal Kingdom.

Today I stretch my heart and mind wide to let in the amazing capacity of your love. I soak in the world turned around, redeemed and awaiting renewal! And I wrap myself, my family, my hopes and my dreams in this risen hope. Lord, I place my trust firmly upon death overcome, and lift my eyes to eternity.

Amen.

quotes from the bible about the morning

"but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."

(Isaiah 40:31, NIV)

My heart, O God, is steadfast,
my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.
Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn

(Psalm 57:7-8, NIV)
