In Thy will, O Lord, is my peace.
In Thy love is my rest.
In Thy service is my joy.
Thou art all my heart’s desire.
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides Thee.
In Thy presence, O God, I think not only of myself, but of others, my fellow men:
Of my friends…
Of those who today have worked or played with me…
Of those who are in sorrow…
Of those who are bearing the burdens of others…
Of those who are manning difficult stations or lonely outposts of Thy Kingdom…
O Thou who art the one God and Father of us all, be near to us today and graciously keep watch over our souls. Hear my prayer.
Amen.
