Whatever word you speak to me today,
and you will, Lord:
help me hear and take it to heart…
Whomever you bring for me to serve today,
and you will:
help me serve my neighbor freely and generously…
Wherever you might lead me today, Lord,
and you will:
help me follow wherever you go…
However you ask me to change today, Lord,
and you will:
give me the wisdom to do so gracefully…
Whomever you call me to forgive this day,
and you will:
help me do so with a loving, open heart…
Whenever you call me to task this day,
and you will, Lord:
help me respond humbly and quickly…
However you reveal yourself to me today,
and you will, Lord:
help me see you and welcome you…
Whatever burden you give me to carry today,
and you will:
help me carry it with strength and grace…
Whatever you ask of me this day,
and you will, Lord:
help me to do it without grumbling or complaint…
However you might surprise me today, Lord,
and you will:
help me receive it as a grace and blessing…
And whenever I ignore or forget you today,
and I will, Lord:
turn my heart again to you in prayer…
Amen.
