*OPENING SENTENCES:
O Lord, open my lips.
And my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
The Lord shall come when morning dawns,
And earth’s dark night is past.
As the sentry waits for daybreak,
So my soul hopes for the Lord.

God of all mercies, we praise you that you have brought us to this new day, brightening our lives with the dawn of promise and hope in Jesus Christ. Especially we thank you for
The warmth of sunlight, the wetness of rain and snow,
and all that nourishes the earth …
The presence and power of your Spirit …
The support and encouragement we receive from others …
Those who provide for public safety and well-being …
The mission of the church around the world. …
Merciful God, strengthen us in prayer that we may lift up the brokenness of this world for your healing, and share in the saving love of Jesus Christ. Especially we pray for
Those in positions of authority over others …
the lonely and forgotten …
children without families or homes …
agents of caring and relief …
the church in Asia and the Middle East. …
Individual prayers of thanksgiving and intercession…
Silent prayer
1
Eternal God,
Our beginning and our end,
Be our starting point and our haven,
And accompany us in this day’s journey.
Use our hands to do the work of your creation,
And use our lives to bring others the new life you give this world
In Jesus Christ, Redeemer of all.
Amen.
