OUR
FATHER, Who art in Heaven, Thou hast graciously answered our petition for safe
keeping through the darkness and dangers of another night. For these mercies we
now thank Thee, Father, and lift our refreshed hearts and minds to Thee in
thanksgiving, and in an appeal for guidance as we start out into the duties and
privileges of a new and unknown day. Graciously cause Thy Holy Spirit to dwell
in us richly, and to make real unto us a Father's omniscience, love and power.
Help Thou us to realize what it really is to have the very hairs of our head
all numbered. Show us anew the deep concern of the Good Shepherd as He feedeth
His flock and nourisheth it for the Father's service. Cause Thy Kingdom to
come, and Thy will to be done in and through us each moment of the day. Bring
to our remembrance, Oh Spirit of God, such portions of the Divine Word as will
give us the vision, the inspiration, and the faithfulness that will make us
profitable — profitable to Thee by being helpful to those about us in real need
of the knowledge of a Saviour's love and grace. These favors, together with the
forgiveness of our own sins, we ask in the Name of Jesus — Thy Son and our
Saviour. Amen.
S. J. McDowell, D.D.,
