My Prayer

Lord, help me to...
write only for You,
teach only for You,
and love and care for my family as if they were You.

May every word I say or write, every meal I prepare, and every lecture I give be an example of Christian truth and service.

Help me to be faithful in prayer, love, friendship and art.

Use me to spread Your truth. Remind me when I waste the time and talent you have given me. Take hold of me, chastise me, purify me.

Make me wholly Yours, so that I will not be ashamed when I stand before you at the Judgement.
