August Twenty-Fifth ~
God's Daily Minute
“God be merciful unto
us, and bless us; and cause His face to shine upon us; That Thy way may be
known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise
Thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. O let the nations be glad and sing
for joy: for Thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations
upon earth.” – Ps. 67:1-4 ~
Our God and Father, we render Thee our thanks and praise for
all the good of this day. New were Thy mercies in the morning, and sweet is Thy
love in the evening hour. We bless Thee that Thou hast given us this day our
daily bread; that Thou hast not forgotten us even in those self-centered
moments when we forgot Thee.
And now we pray Thee to watch over and preserve us, body and
soul, during the hours of the day and night. May our rest and sleep be sweet to
us. May we be brought to this new day refreshed and encouraged for all its
duties and privileges, its sorrows and joys.
When we come at last to life’s evening hour, and the night
of death begins to fall about us, may we by faith look beyond its darkness to
the breaking of the eternal day. We ask all in the name and through the merits
of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
