I pray today…
…to be Your servant
not in the thought of my mind
or the beat of my heart
but rather
in the way You intend me to be…

I pray today…
…to be Your messenger
not with words that drip eloquently from my tongue
or by offering the advice of a philosopher
but rather
in the way You intend me to be…

I pray today…
…to be Your child
not through the immaturity of my actions
or the selfishness of my tiny world
but rather
in the way You intend me to be…

I pray today…
…to be of use
carrying the load received
speaking the words given
loving this day only…
…as Your servant
Your messenger
Your child.

Amen.
