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
The problem is deciding what is stupid and foolish. If you are arguing about it the odds are that you do not find it stupid of foolish. Many times though what we see as important are not when seen from God's angle. We spend time considering what to wear but really it is trivial. If we think clothing is important though we are seldom as well decked as the lilies of the field, how can we judge what items to argue?
