A Morning Prayer for Geeks

November 17, 2011 by Leave a Comment

I love the Morning Prayer of St. Philaret of Moscow. It contains petitions applicable to all people, while seeming particularly relevant to the work of a spiritual father, receiving guests and providing spiritual guidance. I think I would benefit from a morning prayer targeted towards the type of work I do. I don’t mean something tongue-in-cheek, like The Book of Uncommon Prayer, but a genuine prayer for we who work with our minds. While I do not consider myself to have any particular gift for prayer writing, I humbly present my stab at a morning prayer for geeks:

Glory to you, O God, who has provided me with work to do.
As I focus my mind on this work, let me pray without ceasing in my heart.
Grant me the wisdom and power to successfully perform my tasks, that this effort and its results may be to Your glory.
Amen
