MORNING PRAYER

O Lord my God
Thou hast kept me safe through the night 
As I rest in the paths of wicked and ungodly men.

My soul remained secured by the watchful eyes 
Of your celestial beings.

My thoughts of you in the daytime comfort my heart in sleep
My dreams are all about your grace and mercy
The Unseen God that loves unconditionally.

Therefore, before the roster echoes his voice
Or the night slips into its hiding place 
I rise by your grace to give you prayers, Thou, Most High.

Please accept your servant's humble words of thanks
For thou hast always been gracious to this sinner
Showing me your unfailing love and kindness
Throughout my fleeting life.

Glory and honor to your holy name, Heavenly Father
As I leave my simple abode, but never from your presence 
And your unfailing love.
