Dear God, turn my every circumstance into something useful. Let every happening be a demonstration to those around me – of your love, of your power, of your way of life. When conditions are positive, your love is obvious. When events overwhelm, your power, too, is clear. In such cases it is your way of life that I most need to embody.
Your way of life: Helping others. Diminishing self. Accepting your will. Seeking your instructions. Lord, let me live this way today. Let me not seek my own selfish ends.
Let me be cheerful in pursuit of your will. This way of living is a gift, for it allows an untroubled soul even under difficult conditions. Let my attitude be untroubled today.
