As we enter this day, Lord,
help us to hear Your voice singing love over us.

As we speak with others, Lord,
speak to our souls of Your love for us,
whether others love us or not.

As we work at our endeavors, Lord,
help us work as unto You,
while not searching for significance in our accomplishments.

As we draw near to the day’s end, Lord,
grant us grace to release all things –
joys and sorrows, successes and failures –
into Your hands, so that You might grant us rest.

All this we pray through Jesus Christ,
the Lord of our days,
Amen.
