This Day
by
Barbara Philbrook
This day
is started Lord and I give it to You,
may I accomplish all that You intend me to.
May I
fulfill all of Your expectations for me,
doing all that You desire obedient and joyfully.
May I hear
Your each and every direction,
striving always to do my work in perfection.
Help me to
concentrate and do all things well,
and place in my mouth the things You want me to tell.
Give me
the ability to discern what is true,
so I may only partake in what will bring honor to You.
Fill me
with Love to give abundantly to others,
constantly reminding me all men are my brothers.
Make me
sensitive to the needs of my neighbor,
fulfilling others needs is a joy I truly savor.
Make self
the very least important thing on my list,
I desire only to serve You Lord for as long as I exist.
This day
is just the first in the rest of my life,
I ask You to make me a better more understanding wife.
This day
is starting no different than any other,
I need You to help me be a kind loving mother.
This day
is Yours Lord make me productive and wise,
help me to effect positively many other's lives.
