Here’s a prayer we used in worship that I greatly appreciate. I have been using it in my times of private prayer.
Free me this day, O Lord-
From all fear of the future,
From all anxiety about tomorrow,
From all bitterness toward anyone,
From all cowardice in the face of danger,
From all laziness in the face of work,
From all failure before opportunity,
From all weakness when your power is at hand.
But fill me this day, O Lord-
With love that knows no barrier,
With empathy that reaches to all,
With courage that cannot be shaken,
With faith strong enough for the darkness,
With strength sufficient for my tasks,
With loyalty to your kingdom’s goal,
With wisdom to meet life’s complexities,
With power to lift me to you,
So, be with me another day, and use me as you will.
Amen.
