My Daily Prayer

 

 Give me a spirit sweet, dear Lord,

As I go about my day,

Tat I would be a blessing glad

To someone on life's way.

Let no small pettiness of mine

Keep me from doing good,

To help where there's a need, and love

My neighbor as I should.

When I would seek my will, not Yours,

Speak to my heart anew;

Give me a vision clear, dear Lord,

Of what You'd have me do.

Please grant to me the strength I need

To stand for right and good,

Rememb'ring that we all should strive

To do the thing You would.

Lord, let me not be boastful of

Some good that I have done,

But keep me ever mindful that

From You my blessings come.

I do not ask for riches grand,

Nor skies forever fair;

A closer walk with You, dear Lord,

This is my daily prayer.
