Morning prayer

***    Morning prayer*** God of creation, how great you are and how worthy you are to be praised! You are the Creator of the universe and everything in it. You are the Giver and Sustainer of all all life, and I am humbled that you knew me in my mother’s womb and count the very number of the hairs on my head. So often I get caught up with what the day throws at me. Days come and go without my taking time to behold the beauty of your creation. Your creation is so full of the songs of nature, which sing your praises. Open my eyes to the beauty of the world around me. Help me to pause and take the time to receive and enjoy your free gifts.
