A Morning Resolve
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;
exercisng economy in expenditure,
generosity in giving, carefulness in conversation,
diligence in appointed service, 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 Christ my Savior
and ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Amen
