Morning Prayer

 I have awakened in Thy shelter, O my God, and it becometh him that seeketh that shelter to
abide within the sanctuary of Thy protection and the Stronghold of Thy defence. Illumine my inner
being, O my Lord, with the splendours of the Day-Spring of Thy Revelation, even as Thou didst
illumine my outer being with the morning light of Thy favour.

  I bear witness, O my
God, that Thou hast created me to know Thee and to worship Thee. I testify, at this moment, to my
powerlessness and to Thy might, to my poverty and to Thy wealth.
     There
is none other God but Thee, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
