A Morning Resolve

I will try this day to live a simple,
sincere and serene life,
repelling promptly
every thought of discontent,
anxiety, discouragement,
impurity, and self-seeking;
cultivating cheerfulness,
magnanimity, charity,
and the habit of holy silence;
exercising economy in expenditure, generosity in giving,
carefulness in conversation,
diligence in appointed service,
fidelity to every trust,
and a childlike faith in God.

In particular
I will try to be faithful
in those habits of prayer,
work, study,physical exercise,
eating, and sleep
which I believe the Holy Spirit
has shown me to be right.

And as I cannot i
n my own strength do this,
nor even with a hope of success attempt it,
I look to thee,
O Lord God my Father,
in Jesus my Savior,
and ask for the gift
of the Holy Spirit.
Amen

For Today

O 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 outward 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. Amen
