We are invited each morning to purify our hearts and set fast our minds to
Christ. This morning resolve appears in Forward Movement's Day by Day booklet for August|September|October. The booklet and this prayer card are available in print in the narthex of our church. forwardmovement.org
I will try this day to live a simple, sincere and serene
life, repelling promptly every thought of discontent,
anxiety, discouragement, impurity, and self-seeking;
cultivating cheerfulness, magnanimity, charity, and the
habit of holy silence; exercising economy in
expenditure, generosity in giving, carefulness in
conversation, diligence in appointed services, fidelity
to every trust, and a childlike faith in God.
In particular I will try to be faithful in those habits of
prayer, work, study, physical exercise, eating, and
sleep which I believe the Holy Spirit has shown me to
be right.
And as I cannot in my own strength do this, nor even
with a hope of success attempt it, I look to thee, O
Lord God my Father, in Jesus my Savior, and ask for
the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Amen
