Eleventh Day

Daily Reading
Romans 8:35:39


In the morning

O God, our Father, grant unto us all through this day patience with things and patience with people. If any task will be difficult, grant us the perseverance which will not admit defeat. If any problem will be hard to solve. help us not to abandon it, until we have found the solution. If things will not come right the first time, help us to try and try again, until failure becomes success. Help us all through today, never to lose our temper with people, however unfair, unjust, annoying and unpleasant they may be. Help us to have time to listen to anyone, who wants to talk to us about a worry, a problem, or a need. Help us to be patient with those who are slow to learn and slow to understand. Help us all through this day to work as Jesus worked, and to love as Jesus loved. This we ask for Thy love's sake. AMEN


In the evening


O God, our Father, as we look back across this day, we ask Thee to forgive us if today we have made work harder for others. Forgive us if we have made work harder for others, by being careless, thoughtless, selfish and inconsiderate. Forgive us if we have made faith harder for others, by setting them an example which would make easier for them to go wrong. Forgive us if we have made joy harder for others, by bringing gloom and depression through our grumbling discontent. Forgive us, O God, for all the ugliness of our lives, and tomorrow help us to work more nearly as our Master walked, that something of His Grace and beauty may be on us. That we ask for Thy love's sake. AMEN
