Another quick prayer for the day

Help me to know what I could and should do - and to try my best to do it;

and to know what I couldn't and shouldn't do - and to try my best not to do it.

A psalm for today

Oh God, you are my all and my everything.

You are the bedrock of my existence.
Your commandments of love are the code of my life.

Oh God, you are my all and my everything

In grief and sorrow, you are my comfort and consolation.
In happiness and health, you are my joy and delight.

Oh God, you are my all and my everything

You give me blue sky and white clouds,
the sun to warm me, the gentle breeze to cool,
the rain to water my garden.

Oh God, you are my all and my everything

You give me the green of trees, the music of rivers,
the curve of hills, the majesty of mountains,
the glory of sunsets.

Oh God, you are my all and my everything

You have been with me since childhood,
you have rescued me from danger.

Oh God, you my all and my everything

You have given me the gift of tears and laughter,
the joy of living and loving.

Oh God, you are my all and my everything

You have given me awareness of the needs of the world
and the desire to care about and for all creation.

Oh God, you are my all and my everything

You have given me the desire and the will to show gratitude. 
For all these gifts, I thank you, dear God.

Oh God, you are my all and my everything.
