Morning prayer?? wer has it gone?

Good point to discuss. Frankly speaking I never had this habit of praying in the morning but of late find it important to thank God for what he has given us though I am finding it difficult to keep consistently praying on all mornings.

Yes, everyone is in a rush. But, praying is sincerely and heartily interacting with God. There is no mandatory place, position, words and length of time to do this. I simply say, "Good morning, Lord. Thank you for today, yesterday and tomorrow. Bless us and guide us in thought, word and action to do only what is pleasing to You.Build a wall of love around us so that we will be completely impermeable to all kinds of evil and evil intention." God bless you Nigildas.

I admit I often forget to do that because upon waking up, things will be in a rush, I have to prepare this and that, do this and that, etc. I thank God everyday but sometimes it's not the first thing I do when I wake up. And you are right, we should always thank God upon waking up because of the new day and new life He's given us. But I don't forget to say my prayers and thanks to God before retiring to bed at night.

it is really important for us to make morning prayer a habit. it's our chance for thanking our Lord for another life He has given us. also it serve as our beginning shield to be always in good shape and dispel any bad things that await us. as for me, I make it habit everytime i wake up. simple thanks prayer is ok. i'm sure God is happy for that simple gesture.
