Here is today's prayer:
Eternal and everblessed God, who are the Lord of all good life, we do not know what will come to us and what will happen to us today. Whatever comes to us, be Thou with us to guide and to strengthen, to comfort and control.
If temptation comes to us, give us grace to overcome evil and to do the right.
If we have to make important decisions, give us grace ever to choose the right way, and to refuse the wrong way.
If it will be difficult to witness for Thee, give us courage never to be ashamed to show whose we are and whom we serve.
If things go well with us, keep us from all pride, and keep us from thinking that we do not need Thee.
If we shall know sorrow, failure, disappointment, loss, keep us from all despair, and help us never to give in.
O Thou who art the Light of the World, be Thou with us today, whatever light may shine or shadow fall, that we may ever live and walk as children of the light: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
From William Barclay's The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, page 32.
