The Morning Gift

 

Readings 071026


Every morning I rise  

and enter the small rhythm God has given—  

breakfast, medicine,  

and then that quiet place of prayer  

where my heart finally settles.


The first words of my prayers:  

"Lord, open my lips,

and my mouth will proclaim Your praise."  

And in that moment,  

God begins His work.


Opening the Scriptures,  

and one verse always shines brighter—  

something I’ve seen,  

something I’ve felt,  

something the Holy Spirit  

presses gently into my heart.


Jesus tells us not to worry  

about what to say—  

for the Spirit of the Father  

will speak through us. 

Every morning carries that promise.


What I share is never mine.  

It is the Spirit speaking—  

through my weakness,  

through my simplicity,  

through my trust.

 

Straight are the paths of the Lord;

in them the just walk. 

His way is steady.  

He guides the willing heart.


Turning our hearts 

to what is good 

and to what is holy.  

God will consecrate every gift 

placed within us for His purpose.  

Our weaknesses

Our simplicity

Every step in our day. 


Prayer

Lord, open my lips,  

and let my heart rise to Your praise.  

Settle me again in the quiet rhythm 

You give each morning.  

Speak Your word 

into my weakness and simplicity.  

Guide my steps along 

Your straight and holy path.  

Consecrate every gift within me 

for Your purpose today.

Amen
