A Morning Prayer
A Morning Prayer
Thank you for watching over me Lord while I slept through the night.
Please guide me today, to do what is right.
I will try to be a good example, for all others to see. Everything I do, will be done in the honor of thee.
Greeting everyone I meet, with a kind word and a smile. placing their shoes on my feet and walking that mile.
Inspire me today from expressing evil thoughts, word, or deeds.
While helping me to recognize, what the other person needs.
If I should die before this day ends. I pray that you except me Lord as one of your friends.
M.S. Willard
