July Twenty-First ~
God's Daily Minute
“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or
who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;
who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall
receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his
salvation.” – Ps. 24:3-5 ~
Heavenly Father, for all the blessings of the night past and
for this new day that Thou hast given us, we desire now to thank Thee, and O we
pray that as Thou hast given us rest in sleep, so now may we serve Thee this
day with all the strength of the life Thou hast given back to us again. Direct us,
we pray Thee, in all the work of our hands this day, so that in all things we
may please Thee. Help us to be kind, loving, forgiving, and ever watchful lest
we offend against Thee in word, thought, or deed.
And while we pray for ourselves, we would not forget to pray
for those near and dear to us—our fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters,
kindred and friends. Bless each and all toward whom our hearts turn with a
great love, and finally bring us, unbroken family circles, to our Father’s
house above, from which we shall go out no more, but shall ever be at home with
Thee. Amen
