September 23, 2009

Here is today's prayer:

O God, our Father, help us this day to treat all men aright.

Help us to be a good example to those who are younger that we are; to be respectful to those who are older than we are; and to be at all times courteous to our equals.

Help us to be obedient to those who are set in authority over us; and to be just and fair and kind to any over whom we have control.

Help us to be sympathetic to those in distress, to be helpful to those in trouble, and to be kind to those in need.

So make us all this day to go about doing good as our Master did. This we ask for Thy love's sake. Amen.

From William Barclay's The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, page 66.
