We need Your help and Your grace
as we are again returning to our daily task.
Grant us true faithfulness in the performance of our calling.
Guard us me against becoming selfish, careless,
and slovenly in the pursuance of our daily work…
Feed us with food convenient for us
and teach us to receive our daily bread with thanksgiving.
Grant us that godliness and contentment
without which there can be no true happiness,
and
let us walk through the things temporal
that we may not lose the things eternal.
For Jesus’ sake.
Amen.

We prayed this very prayer this morning before we started school. 🙂 I change the pronouns to “us” and “we.”Carrie
It works for Tuesdays as well. Amen and Amen!
Oh dear–part of my problem is that there is TOO much food that is convenient for me…But it is all such a good reminder, isn’t it? A way to keep focus.
