Lord, Give me strength and wisdom
to live this day as I should.
Give me strength to overcome every temptation which
may come to me,
to do well every task which is assigned to me,
to shoulder every responsibility which is laid upon my shoulders.
Give me wisdom to know when to speak and when to keep silent,
to know when to act and when to refrain from action,
to know when to speak my mind and when to hold my peace.
So bring me to the end of this day
in goodness, in happiness and in peace.
Amen.
