The Morning Collect

Verse

O Lord, our heavenly Father,
almighty and everlasting God,
you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day.

Defend us by your mighty power,
that we may not fall into sin
nor run into any danger
but run to you instead.

And that guided by your Spirit,
we may do what is righteous in your sight;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
