Good, good morning!

We have a choice in this day.  We may have opened our eyes this morning only to remember the sadness, sorrow, pain, or even anger that we were encased in yesterday. And we KNOW that one night doesn't magically wipe all of that away.  

HOWEVER,  one night's sleep can make a world of difference.  I'm not sure who said this...so if you know comment and help me out...but one of my favorite lines is this "The difference between hope and despair is a good night's sleep."   

Or as it is stated in Psalm 30:5b (NRSV):

"Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning."

Almighty God, we pray that this day maybe filled with peace.  That even though we may face hardship and sorrow, that our sense of your love will be greater than all that we encounter. Allow us to love others as a result of the way that you love and care for us. Help us to live in joy and in peace all day long. 

In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen.
