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.”
