We thank You, Lord God, for this new day and its beauty, for work to do and strength with which to do it. Grant us the serenity to accept things that cannot be changed and the determination to change things that ought to be changed. Give us a hope that never changes to despair, the loyalty to the best that never diminishes. Arm our will with Your strength. Keep us steadfast in our discipleship. Grant to us at evening the deep contentment of work completed and duty done in service to our God and to our fellowmen. Amen.
