Trinitarian Prayer

I'm reading through Minute Meditations for Busy Moms by Emilie Barnes, and I came across this awesome prayer that theologian/author John Stott prays every morning:
Good morning, heavenly Father; good morning, Lord Jesus; good morning, Holy Spirit.  Heavenly Father, I worship you as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.  Lord Jesus, I worship you, Savior and Lord of the world.  Holy Spirit, I worship you, Sanctifier of the people of God.  Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.  As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.  Amen.
Heavenly Father, I pray that I may live this day in your presence and please you more and more.  Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.  Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  Holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three persons in one God, have mercy upon me.  Amen.

    On the subject of the Trinity,
    I recommend this video:
    The Human Jesus

    Take a couple of hours to watch it; and prayerfully it will aid you to reconsider "The Trinity"

    Yours In Messiah
