Dear Lord, let me begin this day in devout meditations, in joy unspeakable, and in blessing and praising You, who has given me such good hope and everlasting consolation. Lift up my mind above all these little things below, which are apt to distract my thoughts. And keep it above, until my heart is fully resolved to seek You every day, in the path where Jesus has trod before me.
Thank You for the gladness here where the sun is shining at evening on the weeds at the river. Thank You for the laughter of children who tumble barefooted and bareheaded in the summer grass. Thank You for the sunset and the stars, the women and the copper arms that hold us.
The game is all your way, the secrets and the signals and the system; and so for the break of the game and the first play and the last. As I travel through the rest of my day, may the God of hope fill me with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit I may abound in hope. This I pray, through His Name.
Amen
