O Lord, who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders among us in the earth.
Each morning You awaken us and open our understanding to Your will. You reveal to us Your Words of wisdom so that we know the right words to speak, the proper choices to make and the proper direction to take in all matters before us.
May we be mindful of Your command that we be people of strong moral character, kindness, humility and integrity.
Blessed are You, LORD, who has given us rest according to all that You promised. Thank You for Your abiding presence.
We ask these things in the name of Your Son. Amen.
