Shelter in the morning

"Do not say, 'It is morning,' and dismiss it with a name of yesterday.
See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name."
- Rabindranath Tagore

"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 lift up my soul."

“Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,
but for the heart to conquer it.”
- Rabindranath Tagore

"Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week,
they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
And entering the tomb, they saw a young man
clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side;
and they were alarmed.
But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed.
You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.
He is risen! He is not here."
Mark 16:2,5-6

God, What a wonderful example you have given us.
Light is risen from the dead.
Give that each day by sunrise
we have to think what a creation you had in store for us.
I am grateful for all the beautiful things around me
and look forward to even better times in your Kingdom.
Disappoint me not and let me be part of your future plans.

Get up in the morning and pray for the Lord's blessings

 "Let the wise listen and add to their learning, 
and let the discerning get guidance -
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge."
 Proverbs 1:5,7 

Already in the morning I put my ear to listen to your Word. 
With my prayers, I urge you to teach me wisdom and discipline.
Can the meaning of words of understanding be admissible for a fruitful
teaching.
For justice, sense of duty and honesty.
Your opinion, I fear, but your love I ask,
accompany me to eternal life.
