As this day begins O God, help me to begin it with a sense of anticipation. May I look forward to those with whom I will come into contact. Let me be fully present to them. Give me the awareness to meet the needs of those around me. May I respond to the opportunities to serve those in need with vigor. Give me the energy to accomplish the tasks that are set before me. May this day be filled with your presence. All this I ask in your name. Amen
