Morning prayer and post thoughts

Written: 6:30 am (Sydney)

"As we are getting closer to arriving in Sydney we pray to you Lord, these morning prayers of petition:
We thank you Lord for enlightening us through your Son, fill us with His light throughtout the day.

Let your wisdom lead us today, Lord that we may walk in the newness of life.

May we bear hardships with courage for your name's sake and be generous in serving you.

Direct our thoughts feelings and actions this day, help us to follow your providential guidance.

We are only a few hours from landing now, but we are all ready to be on the ground"

Post script: Very fitting petitions for us to have in morning prayer in preparation for finshing our travel to Sydney. We flew through the night and are now trying to stay awake in the light now to get used to the time zone. We did a great deal of walking upon exiting the plane, even once we got off the train it was 2 blocks to the van which took us to the monestary. We have had a few annoyances with technology that we have made it past with courage. With your guidance we did make it here to settle in.

Peace, Laura
