Morning petitions

Almighty King, you have baptized us,
and made us a royal priesthood:
may we offer you a constant sacrifice of praise.

Help us to keep your commandments;
so that through your Holy Spirit we may dwell in you,
and you in us.

Everlasting Wisdom, come to us:
dwell with us and work in us today.

Help us to be considerate and kind;
grant that we may bring joy, not pain, to those we meet.
 
...
Look with favour on our morning prayer, Lord,
    and in your saving love
    let your light penetrate the hidden places of our hearts.
May no sordid desires darken our minds,
    renewed and enlightened as we are by your heavenly grace.

(from Morning Prayer, Wk1, Tuesday)
