A Prayer

This was the prayer for the morning prayers in Phyllis Tickle's Divine Hours, originally in The Book of Common Prayer:

O God, you have taught me to keep all your commandments by loving you and my neighbor: Grant me the grace of your Holy Spirit, that I may be devoted to you with my whole heart, and united to others with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.†

That is the collect for this week in the BCP--I've been enjoying praying it and it makes me think about (and say) the Jesus Creed. Very nice!

Sometimes, we have to stop in the middle of our day and just say Thank You Father for all that you done for us, whether it's to meet the mortgage payment, purchasing food, to be able to lay our heads at night after a weary day, Problems that plague us and he smoothed them out so that we can stop worrying. Sometimes, you are able to help others and sometimes they are able to help you. He is truly a devine father and he have spread blessing down upon us so many times, that we just have to just stop at any given moment and say "Thank You Father for everything, in the name of your son Jesus, Father God, Thank you" Amen
