God's Daily Minute
“As thou hast
believed, so be it done unto thee.” – Matt. 8:13 ~
Our Father in Heaven, as children come to an earthly parent,
so we, Thy children, come to Thee. We acknowledge Thy goodness in keeping us in
safety during the night, and in the mercies renewed to us with the return of
the day. While we have been locked in slumber, Thou hast not suffered any harm
to befall us. We have lain us down in peace and slept because Thou hast
sustained us, and the morning of a new day finds us with renewed vigor for its labor
and toil.
As the each day brings to us fresh obligations, fit us for
their discharge. As new temptations make their appeal to us, strengthen us for
their resistance. In new battles we may have to fight, lead us to victory.
Fortify us against the evil we may have to meet, and make us responsive to
every uplifting and helpful influence. May the evil tendencies in our nature
constantly grow less insistent. May the spirit of love to Thee and to all
become the fixed characteristic of our lives.
Accept our gratitude for daily renewed mercies. Give us
pardon for all our sins. Keep us as a family from harm and evil to-day, and
when our days on earth are past, bring us to the Heavenly home. We ask in the
Christ’s name. Amen
