Lord, in the morning I start each day,

by taking a moment to bow and pray.

Beginning with thanks,

I then give praise for all your kind and loving ways.

Today if sunshine turns to rain,

if a dark cloud brings some pain,

I won’t doubt or hide in fear.

For you, my God, are always near.

I will travel where you lead;

I will help my friends in need.

Where you send me, I will go;

with your help, I’ll learn and grow.

Hold my family in your hands,

as we follow your commands.

And I will keep you close in sight

when I crawl in bed tonight. Amen.
