4/1/13

Lord, for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin just for today. Let me both diligently work, And duly pray. Let me be kind in word and deed, Just for today. Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey; Help me to sacrifice myself Just for today. And if today my tide of life should ebb away, Give me thy sacraments divine, Sweet Lord today. So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Just for today.

Augustine

I want to talk about prayer this month. Prayer is an amazing thing that our God has given to us. We know that God is Sovereign over the entire universe, and that includes the thing that you are praying about. But God has told us to pray and to give thanks, so let us do that more and more.
