003 Morning: Psalm 51

In this episode, Carolyn introduces the ancient tradition of the “divine offices” and discusses her experience praying into the void. Don’t forget: “God made you. God loves you. God keeps you.”

A Morning Prayer:

Open my lips, O Lord,
and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence
and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Give me the joy of your saving help again
and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

(from Psalm 51, the Episcopal Church’s Book of Common Prayer, 137)
