Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

And then pray in response as your day starts

Pray your own words to the LORD God
In worship and thanks for what you have read,
In confession and need to be more like Jesus,
And for others known to you at this time in a hard place.

O LORD
Receive our morning praise and hear our prayers.
We ask in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

On others
On our Church
On our world
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
