Through the night to morning

A single footprint on a path at dawn, dry and clean, with the night's dark puddles and mud already left behind it.

Holy Lord, almighty Father, eternal God, thank you for bringing us safely through the night to the morning. Please help us get through this day without sin, so that this evening we can thank you again. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised.
