Good Morning.  Please join me in my morning prayer.

       My Heavenly Father, I thank You, through Jesus Christ, Your
       beloved Son, that You kept me safe from all evil and danger last
       night. Save me, I pray, today as well, from every evil and sin, so
       that all I do and the way that I live will please you. I put
       myself in your care, body and soul and all that I have. Let Your
       holy Angels be with me, so that the evil enemy will not gain power
       over me. Amen.
