Let the Morning Bring Me Word

 

A cloudy morning with rain predicted for most of today, and I don't mind.

There's an essential goodness to the rain, and sweet and slow cottage vibe when it does that whiffs of safe seclusion.  I have a lovely list of happy things to do; a mixture of ministry, and cottage projects, and reading, and a little bit of research, but none of it urgent.  So I pause before beginning any of it, to just be glad.

And open.

Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love,

for I have put my trust in You.

Show me the way I should go,

for to You I entrust my life.

Rescue me from my enemies, LORD,

for I hide myself in You.

Teach me to do Your will,

for You are my God;

may Your Spirit lead me on level ground.

Psalm 143:8-10

A good prayer to begin any day, I think.
