According to the Code of Jewish Law (the Shulchan Aruch), immediately upon waking up in the morning, our first words should be: “I offer thanks to You, living and eternal King, for You have mercifully restored my soul within me; Your faithfulness is great.”
These, our first words each day, are the issuance of our lips that we should observe and preserve throughout the day. In this way, our gratefulness to G‑d influences our attitudes and conduct throughout the day, infusing them with joy, and similarly affects all those around us.1

The (Modeh Ani) what beautiful words to say upon awaking each morning. To be alive with another opportunity to do better, be better each day, by first acknowledging our everlasting King. AMEIN!!!
