A Prayer To Live Above The Struggles Of Life, A prayer for August 3rd
Oh God, adored, I ask, uphold me now
By Your gracious and all-mighty strong arm.
Give me blessings that are correct for me.
Let no jealous thought of others tempt me.
Help me endure each day's trials by faith;
I know testing may hide treasures so rare.
In hard trials keep the promise You spoke
"That in all things You are working for good."*
Give me holy and pure ideals to live
So I become the one making a change,
And not descend to the common man's ways,
Or be buried in the struggle to cope.
Let me conform to Your loving good plan
And not wander from the pilgrim's hard path.
In my darkness shine Your brightness of truth
That my motives will be expunged of wrong.
Make me steadfast as I obey Your Word.
May I proclaim Your cross before all men
With a thankful heart of peaceful bright hope.
May I always seek to perform kind acts,
And speak gentle words of Christian love,
May I declare Christ through many good deeds,
And give glory to him- Jesus my King.
