Colin has two non-negotiables when it comes to morning prayers:

Some kind of interior prayer.

Some kind of family prayer.

The interior prayer helps him immediately start the day with God in mind. The family prayer helps him orient the family mission towards God.

Though the MacIvers attempt to say a decade of the Rosary every morning, they sometimes need something a little shorter for those days when nothing goes right.

Check out Colin’s prayers below, and tell us about your morning prayers in the comments!

Snippet from the Show

“If you can start off the day with interior prayer, it’s more likely that your inner monologue will turn into an inner dialogue.”

Interior Prayer

Here I am Lord, I come to do your will.

My intellect is dark and my will may be weak,

but it’s you oh God I’m after,

your face oh Lord I seek.

Family Prayers

Jesus I love you, Mary I love you. Help us to be more like you.

Little Flower, Little Flower, show your power in this hour.

We adore you oh Christ and we praise you, because by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world. (for Lent)
