today's prayer

O God:

Give me the strength to live another day;
Let me not turn coward before its difficulties
or prove recreant to its duties;
Let me not lost faith in other people;
Keep me sweet and sound fo 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 counscious intergrity;
Open wide the eyes of my sould that I amy 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.


-The Book of Common Prayer
