Naomi leads our Morning Prayer this week for the first time – today she thanks God for rest and for our waking this morning, refreshed and prepared for the day. Naomi prays that God will protect us as we give ourselves to Christ’s service and the busy routine of our lives. She asks as the day unfolds and at the passing of each moment, that our Lord be with us as our council, comfort and guide, and bring us back to rest in Christ at the end of this day.
