My Morning Prayer

"O God, for another day, for another morning, for another hour, for another minute, for another chance to live and serve Thee, I am truly grateful.

Do Thou this day free me

   from all fear of the future,

   from all anxiety about tomorrow,

   from all bitterness towards anyone,

   from all cowardice in the face of danger

   from all laziness in the face of work

   from all failure before opportunity,

   from all weakness when Thy power is at hand.

But fill me

   with Love that knows no barrier,

   with Sympathy that reaches to all,

   with Courage that cannot be shaken,

   with Faith strong enough for the darkness,

   with Strength sufficient for my tasks,

   with Loyalty to Thy Kingdom's goal,

   with Wisdom to meet life's complexities,

   with Power to lift me to Thee.

Be Thou with me for another day, and use me as Thou wilt.  For Christ's sake I pray.  Amen."

-Wallace Friday

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God. (Thessalonians 5:18)

Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and this let us offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe.  ( Hebrews 12:28)
