PREPARING FOR WORSHIP - Morning (1)

PREPARING FOR WORSHIP - Morning
From Psalm 5

O Lord, our God and king, in the morning we come before you, as the sun rises we offer our prayer and wait for you to answer. Through your great love we can enter your house, we can worship you and bow to you in reverence. But you are not a God who is pleased with wrongdoing, you will not allow evil in your presence - you do not tolerate the proud, and you destroy those who live by violence or deceit. So, lead us to do your will; make your way plain for us to follow, help us to find peace in you alone - to rejoice in you, and sing for joy. Increase our love for you, and so make us truly happy; bless us with obedience to you, and let your love shield and protect us. O Lord our God and king, in the morning we come before you. Amen.
