Prayer for the Day

Prayer for the Day

Almighty and everlasting God, by whose grace thy servants are enabled to fight the good fight of faith and ever prove victorious: We humbly beseech thee so to inspire us that we may yield our hearts to thine obedience and exercise our wills on thy behalf. Help us to think wisely, to speak rightly, to resolve bravely, to act kindly, to live purely. Let the assurance of thy presence save us from sinning, and bless us both in body and soul; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.
