7:00 AM

O Thou who alone knows what lies before us this day, grant that in every hour of it, we stay close to You. Let us be in the world, yet not of it. Let us use this world without abusing it.

Let us today embark on no undertaking that is not in line with Thy perfect will for our lives, nor shrink from any sacrifice which You may demand.

Suggest, direct, control every movement of our minds for Jesus' sake,

Amen.

Even as the shepherd rejoices in the return of his lost sheep, and the woman when she found her lost coin, let us rejoice in your faithfulness when You bring ______ back to our home. Let the lost be found. Luke 15: 10, 32
