A Prayer for this Lord's Day

O God, Lord of all power and might, preserver of all thy creatures: Keep us this day in health of body and soundness of mind, in purity of heart and cheerfulness of spirit, in contentment with our lot and charity with our neighbor; and further all our lawful undertakings with thy blessing. In our labor strengthen us; in our difficulties direct us; in our troubles comfort us; and supply all our needs according to the riches of thy grace in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

from The Book of Worship for Church and Home of The Methodist Church, 1965
