Praying... for grace to live well

O God the author of all good
​I come to you for the grace another day will require for its duties and events
​Teach me how to use the world and not abuse it
To improve my talents
​To redeem my time
To walk in wisdom toward those without
​And in kindness to those within
To do good to all people
And especially to my fellow Christians
And to you be all the glory.
​Amen.
