“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,
all anxiety about tomorrow,
all bitterness towards anyone,
all cowardice in the face of danger,
all laziness in the face of work,
all failure before opportunity,
all weakness when Thy power is at hand.
But fill me with
Love that knows no barriers,
Sympathy that reaches to all,
Courage that cannot be shaken,
Faith strong enough for the darkness,
Strength sufficient for my tasks,
Loyalty to Thy Kingdom’s goal,
Wisdom to meet life’s complexities,
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)
This is humbling and a prayer of thanks altogether. It stirs up my faith to keep moving forward.
That is an awesome prayer. I’ll will say sometimes I have a tough time saying “use me as Thou Wilt”. It scares me to say that sometimes. 🙂
It is scary, but opens up a whole world of blessings and greater understanding of who Christ is 🙂 You know that though.
