As our lives today are shaped by how we lived yesterday, so our lives tomorrow will be patterned by how we live today. Cause us, then, to use this day to the fullest, governed and guided by the moral law of Mount Sinai and by the eternal truths of the Sermon on the Mount. Grant to us strong minds, great hearts, steadfast faith, and ready hands. Give to us courage and confidence, health of bodies and minds, wisdom for our decisions, and an unfaltering willingness to follow the precept of Your unchanging Word.
