Before we enter into the duties of this day, we pause, Lord, to pray in recognition of Your greatness and to ask Your blessings.

In our perplexities, counsel us; in our sorrow, comfort us; in our weakness, strengthen us. Set us free from errors and faults that blind us, from fears and doubts that assail us that we may have clear vision of those ideals which call and challenge us to a life of honor and service.
