Daily Reading
Matthew 5:1-12
In the morning
O God our Fahter, who ever makest the light to shine out the darkness, we thank Thee for waking us to see the light of this new day. Grant unto us to waste none of its hours; to soil none of its moments; to neglet none of its opportunities; to fail in none of its duties. And bring us to the evening time undefeated by any temptation, at peace with ourselves, at peace with our fellow-men, and at peace with Thee. This We ask for Thy love's sake. AMEN
In the evening
O God, our Father, we thank Thee for this day which is passing from us now. For any Glimpse of beauty we have seen; For any echo of Thy truth that we have heard; For any kindness that we have recieved; For any good that we have been enable to do; And for any temptation which Thou didst give us grace to over come... We thank Thee, O God; We ask Thy forgiveness for anything which has spoiled and marred this day; For any word which now we wish that we had never spoken; For any deed which now we wish that we had never done; For everything which makes us ashamed when we remember it; Eternal God, who givest us the day for work and the night for rest, grant unto us, as we go to rest, a good night's sleep, and wake us refreshed on the morrow better able to serve Thee and to serve our fellow-men. This we ask, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN
