Today We Pray

Dear Lord, teach me to number my days aright, that I may gain wisdom of heart. Help me do today the things that matter, not to waste the time I have. The moments I have are precious, Lord, see that I count them dear.

Teach me to number my days aright. Fill me this day with Your kindness, that I may be glad and rejoice all the days of my life. Let me follow Christ's example, never to inflate myself with pride of status, of opinion, or of any of the gifts you have bestowed upon me.

Now, oh Lord, I pray that You may lift up the light of your countenance upon me, and give me peace; in my going out and in my coming in; in my sitting down and my rising up; in my work and in my play; in my joy and in my sorrow, in my laughter and in my tears; until that day comes which is without dawn and without dark. Let my hope and glory be ever in You, and not in my own vanity. This I ask in Christ's sake.

Amen
