Let me not, when this morning prayer is said, think my worship ended and spend the day in forgetfulness of you, Lord. Rather from these moments of quietness let light go forth, and joy, and power, that will remain with me through all the hours of the day;
Keeping me chaste in thought:
Keeping me temperate and truthful in speech:
Keeping me faithful and diligent in my work:
Keeping me humble in my estimation of myself:
Keeping me honorable and generous in my dealings with others:
Keeping me loyal to every hallowed memory of the past:
Keeping me mindful of my eternal destiny as a child of you, Lord.
O God, who has been the refuge of my fathers through
many generations,
be my refuge today
in every time and circumstance of need.
Be my guide through all that is dark and doubtful.
Be my guide through all that threatens my spirit's welfare.
Be my strength in time of testing. Gladden my heart with your peace;
through Jesus Christ my Lord.
Amen
