O God, Whose love never departs from us, Whose strength never lets us down, and Whose justice never lets us off, we thank You for this another day. Grant that each of us may be faithful to the best we know, loyal to the truth, eager to do what is right, anxious to keep Your commandments. Direct us in all our doings that all our works may begin, continue and end to the glory of Your holy Name. Give us a greatness of mind, a goodness of heart and a genuineness of purpose that we stand firm in our loyalty to You and ready to give nothing less than our best.

Through Him Who is Lord of all we pray. Amen.
