Help me to be, throughout this day, as You would have me be.

Help me to recognize the beauty in this world.
Help me to recognize the You in its people.

Help me to appreciate the air that I breathe.
Help me to appreciate the gift of its nearness.

Help me to understand the wisdom in my path.
Help me to understand the grace of its clarity.

Help me to love as You have taught me to love.
Help me to love with the mercy You have given.

Help me to be, in spite of myself, as You created me to be.
