Christian prayer / a five-minute rhythm

A morning prayer
with room for honesty.

A simple morning sequence shaped around attention, gratitude, responsibility, and quiet. It does not promise a particular result.

Tradition referencesMark 1:35; Psalm 5:3

Arrive

Before opening the day's noise, take one minute to notice that you are here. Let the first words be honest rather than impressive.

Give thanks

Name one ordinary good thing. Gratitude here is attention to what is present, not a demand to deny difficulty.

Choose a posture

Ask for patience, courage, mercy, or discernment. Carry one practical sentence into the day.
