DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER 
Lord, 
You know the depths of my innermost self, and you understand me. 
You protect me on every side, shielding me from all harm.
In my mother’s womb, you knew all about me.
I thank you for the wonder of myself,
and I stand in awe at all that you have made.
Guide me in your ways.
Amen
