O Lord support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen and the evening come, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Yours, O Lord, is the day yours also is the night grant that the Sun of Righteousness may abide always in our hearts, to drive away all wicked thoughts and to relieve our fears, that we may always know the light of Jesus' presence. O God, it is by your gift that evening follows day and that rest restores us after labor, while we rejoice to receive these blessings, make us mindful that they come from your gracious hand. I seek God's peace in my home and in all the world this night. I ask God's mercy on my sins and omissions this day. I give God thanks for all that was good in the day that is ending. Lord Jesus, who traveled with the disciples on the road to Emmaus: Be with us on the way, that we may know you in the scriptures, in the breaking of bread, and in the hearts of all whom we meet. Now, help me to trust in your mercy, to see myself in the light of your holiness, and grant me the grace that I may have true contrition, make an honest confession, and find in you forgiveness and perfect remission. Holy God, your knowledge of me exceeds what I grasp or see in any moment you know me better than I know myself. Let our confidence not rest in our own understanding but in your guiding hand let our desires not be for our own comfort, but for the joy of your kingdom for your cross is our hope and our joy now and unto the day of eternity. Grant us patience, O Lord, to follow the road you have taken. These prayers are from Saint Augustine's Prayer Book, published by Forward Movement in 2013. Selected Prayers from Forward Day by Day In particular I will try to be faithful in those habits of prayer, work, study, physical exercise, eating, and sleep which I believe the Holy Spirit has shown me to be right.Īnd as I cannot in my own strength do this, nor even with a hope of success attempt it, I look to thee, O Lord God my Father, in Jesus my Savior, and ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit. I will try this day to live a simple, sincere and serene life, repelling promptly every thought of discontent, anxiety, discouragement, impurity, and self-seeking cultivating cheerfulness, magnanimity, charity, and the habit of holy silence exercising economy in expenditure, generosity in giving, carefulness in conversation, diligence in appointed service, fidelity to every trust, and a childlike faith in God.
In the name of the strong Deliverer, our only Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Inspire me with the spirit of joy and gladness Īnd make me the cup of strength to suffering souls Grant me this day some new vision of thy truth Open wide the eyes of my soul that I may see good in all things Help me to keep my heart clean, and to live so honestly and fearlessly that no outward failure can dishearten me or take away the joy of conscious integrity Preserve me from minding little stings or giving them
Keep me sweet and sound of heart, in spite of ingratitude, treachery, or meanness Let me not turn coward before its difficulties or prove recreant to its duties
