Open your ears to my words, O Lord. Consider my innermost thoughts. Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, because I pray only to you. In the morning, O Lord, hear my voice. In the morning I lay my needs in front of you and I wait. [Psalm 5:1-3 (GW)]

Good morning, God, it is so heartening being in your presence and knowing you hear our prayers. We choose this day to be productive and positive, cheerful and forgiving, generous and loving. Let your Holy Spirit fill us, lift us, and lead us so these goals can be attained, not just today, but every day.

Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God. [William Carey, missionary]
