Morning Prayer

                                                    Morning Prayer
Psalms 57:1-5
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed. I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. He will send from heaven and save me; he will rebuke those who would swallow me up. God will send forth his love and his faithfulness.
I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts—men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
My beloved Jesus Christ, I praise, glorify, and worship You, my God, who protected me throughout the past night with Your divine blessings, as I was entrusted to You, and who allowed me to see this new day. I thank You.
I rise in the name of Jesus Christ. Just as I have risen from my bed, O God, help me to rise from sin and protect me from falling into sin again!
In my time of trouble and danger, uplift my soul, strengthen my weakness, give me courage to face all attacks from my enemies, and grant me Your power so that I may never be separated from You, my good God.
Jesus, Mary, Joseph! I surrender my heart and soul to you.
