Good Morning, God,
Ah, Lord, it is great to begin another week! We Christians celebrated your Resurrection Day yesterday, and the "high" carries over even to today. Oh, we know that "highs" soon fade away, but for a person of faith, it can be experienced every day to some degree or another.
Each day we have the opportunity to "greet the dawn," no matter when we awaken. We have the opportunity to say, "Good, God, it's morning!" Rather than "Good God, it's morning." (It's hard to get the vocal inflection with this writing!)
We have the opportunity to thank you for your care through the night and ask for your guidance through the day. We can praise you with, "Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name." We can ask you for what we need, "give us this day our daily bread and forgive us as we forgive others." We can ask you for "protection from evil and the time of trial."
All of this is plenty to be able to say, "Good, God, it's morning."
In Jesus's name, Amen.
