Go forth now as God'servant. Remember God's presence often and draw strength from the knowledge that the One who calls and sends also sustains. (A Guide to Prayer but I think it is from elsewhere).
Pray Open my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall proclaim your praise. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence and take not your holy spirit from me. Give me the joy of your saving help again and sustain me with your Spirit. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen (From Psalm 51)
Read One or more of the readings for the day.
Pray Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and to put on the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility; that on the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.Amen
God knows what we are like, that is why you gave us this ordinance. He knew that our brains would stray, that we would decide to worry more about how to put food on the table and a roof over our heads or even where to go on the next vacation more than how we would help our neighbor who has no food or roof (those men under the bridge are scary). I am glad Jesus died for my sins now I need to some works to accompany my faith.
