September 1, 2009

Here is today's prayer:

O Lord God,
Creator of all things,
make us alive today to your creative spirit.

We begin this day with adoration and thanksgiving.
We are your creatures,
you have created us for relationship with yourself
and we rejoice in this communion.

Prepare us for the events of this day.
May we enjoy pleasure,
be strong in adversity,
faithful in love,
sensitive to need,
a sharer of grace.

Direct the activity and relationships of this day.
May your Spirit find expression in all of our activities.

This is your day,
and through this day we shall worship you.

In the spirit and name of Jesus. Amen.

~Thomas A. Langford Prayer and the Common Life, pg. 21
