Morning Prayer
Yesterday was quite a day – a botched
paint job (as Tim kindly put it:”Painting isn't your gifting,
dear”) - a 16th birthday – friends for dinner – a
car accident with one of our teen drivers totaling his car–
unavoidable meetings in the evening meaning I never even saw one of our guests.
Crazy, crazy day.
Each day has it's own troubles; there's
no telling what today will bring. Here's a morning prayer I found
recently in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Oh, may I do His will this day with cheerfulness.
O God, the King eternal, who dividest the day from darkness, and turnest the shadow of death into the morning;
Drive far off from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep thy law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that having done thy will with cheerfulness while it was day, we may, when the night cometh, rejoice to give thee thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
