What to pray first thing in the morning?

Father—

Teach me—

I pray of Thee—

To learn how to love and respect your gracious self as I should.

Teach me to cast aside all narrow thoughts of my neighbours and friends.

Teach me—

I pray—

To deal lightly with my enemies that comfort may come to me through the purification of my thought of another.

Even should they sin deeply against me, let my motto ever be the perfect word—

Forgiveness.

Let me try my utmost to enter into the joy of others, without the sting of jealousy entering into my heart—that wonderful organ, which gives rise to the lifeblood of all breathing creatures—the core of the physical body, just as my spirit is the core of my divinity within.

Faith, hope and charity go to make up the great and glorious existence of every plane. 

So, dear Father and Friend, knowing this as I do through your kind and loving teaching, I ask your blessing with the hope that my faith and charity unto others may become as godly as thine own.

Amen!
