Be with Me Today, O Lord

May all I do today begin with you, O Lord.
 

Plant dreams and hopes within my soul, revive my tired spirit :

be with me today.

May all I do today continue with your help, O Lord.

Be at my side and walk with me:

Be my support today.

May all I do today reach far and wide, O Lord.

My thoughts, my work, my life :

make them blessings for your kingdom; let them go beyond today.

O God Today is new unlike any other day, for God makes each day different.

Today God's everyday grace falls on my soul like abundant seed, though I may hardly see it.

Today is one of those days Jesus promised to be with me, a companion on my journey, And my life today, if I trust him, has consequences unseen.

My life has a purpose.

"I have a mission..."

I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons.

God has not created me for naught...

Therefore I will trust him.

Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away.

God does nothing in vain.

"He knows what he is about."
