September 2025 Morning Prayers for the Week
9/07/25
God of all creation, you made the hands that stirred unthinking at the start of this day. As the hours slip by, help me to be more mindful of the good they might do: in the greetings they might offer, in the burdens they might bear, in the worry they might soothe. Prompt me to keep them open not clinging to what you have entrusted but freely offering, freely receiving, in response to this day’s needs. May each small motion be a sign of trust, a reminder that my life is in your hands. Amen.
9/14/25
Abiding God, awaken my heart to greet you and open my lips to sing your praise. May I follow the way of Christ ever more fully this day. Amen.
9/21/25
Persistent God, as the day begins and the light increases, let me drink deeply of your grace. As the day unfolds, when my heart strays from you, call me back to this moment. Come after me as surely as a woman searches for treasure lost. If I am deaf and satisfied, if I resent the needs of others, blow strong against me. Do not leave me in my foolishness for I would have your mercy flow from me: I would be a refuge for those who wander, I would lend my heart to celebrations; I would speak your name. Amen.
9/28/25
O Lord, have mercy on us this day according to your steadfast love. Create clean hearts and new spirits within us and open our lips to declare your praise, through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
