Spirit that watches through the night,
I wake with gratitude for your presence
as I slept in peace. I rise to meet this day
with confidence in your counsel and in your
compassionate indwelling.
Lead me into the brightness of day. Guide my feet and
my mind into ways that are just and true,
my hands to extend sacred caring and helping
service.
When I turn out the light tonight, may I gladly
affirm this day shared with you,
source of all that is good and
all that is possible.
Take my hand now as I rise to meet the breaking dawn.
Walk with me side by side, lest I lose my way.
Amen
Shining Spirit 
I am grateful for the “awakening’ prayer this morning.
