O Lord my God, I praise and thank Thee this morning for sleep and sweet rest through the night, and for the gift of another new day. I bless Thee for this beautiful morning, frosty and crisp, with its clear air and shining light. How marvelous is this world Thou hast created, and how kind Thou art to let me live and move within it!
Thou art unbelievably good to me. I am alive, kept in health, provided for, sustained, and given both purpose and meaning - all by Thy gracious hand. For these and ten thousand other mercies, I praise Thee with all my heart.
Forgive my many sins, Father. Forgive my sloth and indolence, my discontented spirit, my idolatry, and my wretched ingratitude. How often I have sinned against Thy goodness!
Make me like my Lord Jesus Christ today, I earnestly pray Thee. Let every moment, every direction, every activity and action, every word, every thought, and every desire be pleasing to Him and for His glory. Fill me afresh with Thy Holy Spirit, and use me this day in Thy kingdom work.
May my life this day bring honor to the name of my Savior.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
