I'm going to print it for tomorrow's early morning :-) Thanks for the encouragement!<br /><br />I love that prayer too Jessica! The parallelism and alliteration make it so calming and meditative. I like the idea of matching it with the morning prayer to provide a rhythm and focus for my days! Hoping there will be more restful sleep tonight!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936654106657579364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429821829834212376.post-8585068404809441562009-06-24T17:53:02.019-04:002009-06-24T17:53:02.019-04:00My friend gave me this Orthodox "Prayer for t...My friend gave me this Orthodox "Prayer for the Start of Day": O LOrd, grant me to greet the coming of the day in peace. Help me in all things to rely on your holy will. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to treat all that comes to me throughout the day with peace of soul and with firm conviction that your will governs all. In all my deedds and words, guide my thoughts and feeling. In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by you. Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without embittering or embarassing others. Give me strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring. Direct my will. Teach me to pray. And yourself, pray in me.<br />Bless you today, Amy.MomCO3https://www.blogger.com/profile/07231541513973893466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429821829834212376.post-46170639813425352782009-06-24T16:42:38.748-04:002009-06-24T16:42:38.748-04:00I love that collect too.

And I think it matches well with the evening prayer of: "Guide us waking, oh Lord, and guard us sleeping, that awake we may watch with Christ and asleep we may rest in peace."Jessica Snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185831697537364088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429821829834212376.post-53617549220810055912009-06-24T14:49:14.254-04:002009-06-24T14:49:14.254-04:00Thanks Emily!

But I'm working on changing my attitude (and getting to bed earlier!) and being grateful to God for the extra morning hours. <br /><br />And I'm praying that prayer with you today.Emily (Laundry and Lullabies)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16367630628716619991noreply@blogger.com
