At the Beginning of the Day

This is a prayer that my Dad sent me and has helped me so much so far. Thank you dad, I love you!

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY

O God, I find myself at the beginning of another day,

I do not know what it will bring,

Please help me to be ready for whatever it may be.

If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely.

If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly.

If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently.

If I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly.

I pray just for today, for these 24 hours.

For the ability to cooperate with others

according to the way Jesus taught us to live.

"Your Kingdom Come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

May these words that he taught us become

More than words.

Please free my thinking and feelings

And the thinking and feelings of others,

From all forms of self-will,

Self-centeredness,

Dishonesty,

and deception.

Along with my brothers and sisters, I need this freedom

To make my choices today according to your desires.

Send your Spirit to inspire me in time of doubt and Indecision

So that, in cooperation with them,

I can walk along your path.
