A Morning Prayer

Dear Lord, my God, my King...

I awoke today with some echoes of bad dreams. Please clear my mind and I pray for those within my dreams, in which destruction occurred. I pray for their lives right now... as your children, please guide us and keep us protected. Let us acknowledge You with our hearts always and never put You last.

We are living in a generation of self first and others last. That is not what You sent Your son Christ Jesus to die for us for. Jesus came to remind us and guide us in Your ways to die an awful death for our ticket to heaven.  But I look around and see how so many are living a lie:

Mark 8:36
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?

I know we all have needs and desires; let us not confuse our calling with sin. Yes, Father I know that there is a balance to everything... but some of us step on one another, kill, cheat and lie for that power to gain... let us be mindful and always keep You centered. From what I have read, been taught and believe through my faith in You, Jesus Christ, You humbly came to serve and not take. Please let me follow your example and love You always with my heart, not just my lips. You know what I want, but You also know what I need. Let my wants be what You want for me through our Father's will for me. Blessed Mother Mary, pray for me to never sway from God's will... I have before and have no desire to do so again.

Thank You Holy Trinity, my heart I lay here at Your altar,

Your son, servant, warrior and Knight,

Past Prayer

My blessed God,

I am humbled by Your love for us as the clock turned and a new day has begun. You have given me another day and another chance to make my life even better than yesterday, today. I know Your plans are here for us all... may be accept them and live them. I do not know what will happen within the next 24 hours... but You do and that is all that matters to me. Thank you and I ask that you protect my love, children, family, brothers and sisters in Christ and the those who are lost. Keep us all on track and when we get off track help us; those who feel alone... lead them to You; those that are lost in sin... save and deliver them.

I pray for myself to never lose my way... and if I stumble... give me the strength to ask for forgiveness and rise again. I love you my sweet Lord... I give all glory to You.
Amen.

Your son, Your servant, Your warrior and Knight,

Mark Grijalva Peres
