FOR TODAY

 

Oh GOD:

Give me strength to live another day; Let me not turn coward before its difficulties or prove recreant to its duties;

Let me not lose faith in other people; keep me sweet and sound of heart, in spite of ingratitude, treachery, or meanness;

Preserve me from minding little stings or giving them; help me to keep my heart clean, and to live so honestly and fearlessly that no outwardly failure can dishearten me or take away the joy of conscious integrity;

Open wide the eyes of my soul, that I may see good in all things; grant me this day some new vision of thy truth;

Inspire me with the spirit of joy and gladness and make me the cup of strength to suffering souls;

In the name of the strong Deliverer, our only Lord and Savior,

Jesus Christ.
