morning prayer :: 3

From the Book of Common Prayer, "Forms of Prayer to Be Used in Families"


Thanksgiving for the gift of another day

We give thee hearty thanks, O heavenly Father, for the rest of the past night, and for the gift of a new day. Grant that we may so pass its hours in the perfect freedom of thy service, that at eventide we may again give thanks unto thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

  1. With all these occasions for habitual prayer, I thought of the hobbits and their many occasions they have in the day to enjoy eating! Maybe there is a prayer principle there: 'hobbitual'prayer. -jBB
