A 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 truly am grateful.”

Do Thou this day free me

from all fear of the future
from all anxiety about tomorrow
from all bitterness towards any one
from all cowardice in 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!
