Eternal Father, the Source of all that is good, help us to live wisely and well in our day, never scorning the past nor fearing the future. So send us to our tasks strengthened by Your presence. Bring us to the evening with peace and joy in our hearts in the knowledge that we have walked this day with You. Amid so many temptations in which each of us finds himself or herself, make us to know that the greatest gift one can enjoy is a life that is clean, honest, trustworthy and serviceable.
