A Morning Prayer (Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow)

“O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day in peace. Help me in all things to rely upon Your Holy Will. In every hour of the day reveal Your will to me. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to treat all that comes to me with peace of soul and with the firm conviction that your Your will governs all. In all my deeds and words guide my thoughts and feelings. In unforeseen events let me not forget that all are sent by You. Teach me to act firmly and wisely without embittering or embarrassing others. Give me the strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring. Direct my will. Teach me to pray. Pray You Yourself in me. Amen.”
— A Morning Prayer by Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow

A watercolored lemon branch frames this prayer to begin the day (also originally done in watercolor), anchoring our minds and hearts in Christ, from whom all good things come. The day following may not be perfect or ideal, but we can come back again and again and start over, moving forward in God’s love and wisdom.

This print is available in both 5×7 and 8×10 standard sizes. The 8×10 version is pictured.
