Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to the beginning of this day: Preserve me with your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do, direct me to the fulfilling of your purposes; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
Morning prayer from The Divine Hours by Phyllis Tickle.
I pray that every morning. Still blows me away!

Scott,
That's my prayer. Thank you for posting. I am counting on that prayer right now.
By the way, I met you with Flaviu Pop at Catalyst for a couple of minutes. God bless your church and ministry.
