Dawn Prayer Series 1

Dawn Harries ~ Garth Sunrise

Despite not being a morning person, I really enjoy being up to see the dawn.

I thought I might start sharing some of the morning prayers / meditations that I do each morning.

If you have a blog post you want to share, or a prayer / meditation that you use, pop a link in the comments!

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.

Meister Eckhart

Mysterious Ones*

I pray to you.

A fresh day has been given to me;

May I be worthy of the gift.
