Morning Prayer...

 Marching Orders...

Chin up

Heart strong

Eyes on The Reward

Remember,
The journey is not long
and

We serve

The risen Lord

Lord, help us recognize the prize before our very eyes

Before its ash is scattered where only frayed echoes rise

This day that you have made is like an opportunity

Above all else to turn it into worship unto Thee

Lord, purify the mind adept in Reason’s cunning art

Remind us of promises kept when fear alarms the heart

Waken us to Your poetry with wonder’s virgin awe

Keen us to the security of Your love’s perfect law

Crucify self-importance; Lord, teach us humility

No matter what we do it is enough when done for Thee 

So, though the shoes that we are called to fill seem small and plain

If we do what we do for You, we do nothing in vain

Lord, You abide with us no matter what; this truth assures

We do not need to fret because Heaven and earth is Yours

Then let this new day You have made most thoroughly instill

In us pure joy to know it is enough to trust Your will

Amen
