Another new day lies before me, Lord:
a day you’ve have made, your gift to me
to spend with care, and generously,
with all I meet today…
Lord, open my heart to this day’s grace
and help me face temptation…Open my mind to gracious thoughts
of you, my neighbor, myself…Open my arms to help and serve
the needs of friends and family…Open my eyes to see your hand
in the beauty all around me…Open my ears to hear you speak
your word, your truth, your Spirit…
Amen.
