This is another day, O Lord.
I know not what it will bring forth,
but make me ready, Lord,
for whatever it may be.
If I am to stand up,
help me to stand bravely.
If I am to sit still,
help me to sit quietly.
If I am to lie low,
help me to do it patiently.
And if I am to do nothing,
help me to do it gallantly.
Make these words more than words,
and give me the Spirit of Jesus.
Amen.
~ Book of Common Prayer, p. 461

Thank you for a beautiful heartfelt prayer to order our heart toward the day.
Dear Tricia,
A friend who lost her husband last May just posted this on her Caring Bridge page:
"As I was thinking of all my friends who are going through so much and praying, God had this song come on the radio. The words are just what ministers right now.
God of My Everything
By Bebo Norman
Oh God of Heaven come and hem me in
Gather the pieces that are broken
Show me the wonder of You again Oh God of Heaven
God of my hope, God of my need
God of my pain that no one else will ever see
God of my strength, God who has always and will forever reign
God of my everything
In all creation You call my name
In all the beauty that this world displays
Still I’m the one for whom Your heart aches
In all creation
God of my hope, God of my need
God of my pain that no one else will ever see
God of my strength, God who has always and will forever reign
God of my everything
And when the mountains shake
You are my God, You never change
And when the earth gives way
You are still God, You never change
