A Morning Prayer 11/29


"O, God, for another day, for another morning, for another hour, for another minute, for another chance to live and serve You, I am truly grateful.
Do this day free me
from all fear of the future,
from all anxiety about tomorrow,
from all bitterness toward 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 Your 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 Your Kingdom's goal,
with Wisdom to meet life's complexities,
with Power to lift me to You.

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

My Comments: I need to read this every day, and meditate on it along with Scripture. What power we would have if we were always yielded to this message!
