Good morning, Lord

Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Good morning, Lord, please help us have the energy we need to do whatever we do, in Your name, Your character, to Your standards, please forgive us for falling short so often. Thank You for all You have done for us, there is nothing You could ask, either word or deed, nothing You could ask us to do that would be too much. Amen.
