Martin Luther’s Morning Prayer

Lord God,

           You have called your servants

                   to ventures of which we cannot see the ending,

                   by paths as yet untrodden,

                   through perils unknown.

           Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go,

                   but only that your hand is leading us

                   and your love supporting us;

                                                           through Jesus Christ our Lord.
