Morning Prayer

Morning Prayer is found at the very start of every edition of the Book of Common Prayer. It is one of the earliest services of the Anglican church, derived (or inspired by) the ancient Jewish prayer practices that later gave birth the monastic prayers of the hours in the Christian church. It is a prayer routine that allows you to start your day by "confessing sin, worshipping God, reading Scripture, and praying for yourself and others." 

Even if you are doing this physically alone in your home, you are at the same time praying together with thousands of others around the world who are also doing Morning Prayer.
