O gracious Lord, from whom I have received so much, grant unto me this blessing also: make my heart grateful for the gift of the life You have bestowed upon me. Grant me the desire to apply my heart unto heavenly wisdom, that my remaining days may be spent to Your glory.
Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12).
You know, O heavenly Father, the duties that lie before me this day, the dangers that may confront me, the sins that most beset me. Guide me, strengthen me, deliver me. Awaken in me the realization that You have a purpose for each of us to fulfill, that life is filled with sacred meaning. Bestow upon me a rich measure of Your wisdom that I may take from my past experiences insight that will serve in the present hour. You know our needs, teach us to pray.
Help me to keep my body and mind trained and fit, that they may be wholesome instruments of service, and my soul may be free from remorse and despair. May I be in all my parts a worthy temple for Your indwelling Spirit and an honor to Your Name.
Send me chances to do a little good every day, and to grow more like Christ Jesus every hour. O God, when I pray to You as my Father, please help me to remember that You are the Father of ALL people everywhere.
O loving Father, I commit myself with perfect trust into Your loving hands. Watch over me and protect me in my hours of weakness, and grant that as I become unconscious of earthly things my thoughts may be turned to You. Please grant that I may bear suffering with cheerful courage that I may be the means under Your hand of helping others in their time of trial.
I call upon You in my trouble, You will deliver me and I will glorify You. As You watch over me in these trying days, grant me patience and guide my thoughts to dwell on Your goodness and Your blessings. You are my shepherd; make me confident that I shall not want. O gracious Father, I cast all my cares upon You, knowing that You care for me.
God's Word on That
