Grant unto me, O Lord, that with peace of mind I may
face all that this new day is to bring.
Grant unto me to dedicate myself completely to Thy
Holy Will.
For every hour of this day, instruct and support me in
all things.
Whatsoever tidings I may receive during the day, do
Thou teach me to accept tranquilly, in the firm conviction that all
eventualities fulfill Thy Holy Will.
Govern Thou my thoughts and feelings in all I do and
say.
When things unforeseen occur , let me not forget that
all cometh down from Thee.
Teach me to behave sincerely and rationally toward
every member of my family, that I may bring confusion and sorrow to none.
Bestow upon me, my Lord, strength to endure the
fatigue of the day, and to bear my part in all its passing events.
Guide Thou my will and teach me to pray, to believe,
to hope, to suffer, to forgive, and to love.
Amen.
