Silent sunrise sanctuary a dome of shelter for the birth of day. Birds and bugs begin an opposite of lullaby proclaiming life anew. We wake in wonder discerning between dream and daylight a mystery ends, another begins. Sunshine scatters shadows a heathery view melting gray morning mist. Never ceasing, never ending God’s mercies new each morning. Amen.

New every morning are your mercies, dear God. As I begin this new day, make me as merciful to others as you have been to me. Strengthen me in faith so that I may trust in you with my whole heart. If any trouble overtakes me today, help me to wait and to hope in you. May the Holy Spirit help me as I both guard and give away to others the treasure of Jesus Christ, my Savior. Amen.

God of endings, of packing up decisions of keeping and leaving of saying goodbye the practice of closing and tidying of moving the finality of distance between of newness, the lonely silence of emptiness. Grant me the strength to start over. Amen.

Glorious God, I praise you. I praise you for who you are loving, merciful, powerful, and just. I praise you for the ways you act in creation creating beauty, bringing freedom, making peace, offering healing. Thank you for opportunities I will have today to glorify you in my words and actions. Amen.
