A Prayer at the Start of a New Day

“Almighty God, as I cross the threshold of this day, I commit myself, soul, body, affairs, friends, to thy care.

Watch over, keep, guide, direct, sanctify, bless me.

Incline my heart to thy ways. Mold me wholly into the image of Jesus, as a potter forms clay.

May my lips be a well-tuned harp to sound thy praise…Let no evil this day soil my thoughts, words, hands…May I speak each word as if my last word, and walk each step as if my final one.

If my life should end today, let this be my best day.”

(The Valley of Vision)
