Here is today's prayer:
O God, our Father, before we go out on the duties and the tasks of this day, we ask Thee to direct, to control, and to guide us all through its hours.
Grant that today we may never for one moment forget Thy presence.
Grant that we may take no step, and that we may come to no decision, without Thy guidance, and that, before we act, we may ever seek to find Thy will for us.
Be on our lips, that we may speak no evil word.
Be in our eyes, that they may never linger on any forbidden thing.
Be on our hands, that we may do our own work with diligence, and serve the needs of others with eagerness.
Be in our minds, that no soiled or bitter thought may gain an entry to them.
Be in our hearts, that they may be warm with love for Thee, and for our fellow-men.
Help us to begin, to continue, and to end this day in Thee: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
From William Barclay's The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, page 38.
