One day at a time! That's all it can be
No faster than that is the hardest of fate,
And days have their limit, however we
Begin them too early or stretch them late.
--J.R. Miller.
He lives happy and master of himself
Who can say, as each day passes on,
I have lived! no matter whether to-morrow
The great Father shall give us a clouded sky or a clear day.
--Horace.
Give us this day our daily bread.
--Matthew 6. 11.
Eternal God, guard me against the love of praise, that I may not lose
the sense of duty. Start me for the right places and give me strength
with my days, that I may press toward their possession. Deliver me
from drifting when it is mine to pull against the tide, that I may not
be carried out of my course. Shield me from the storms that may gather
about me, and bring us all to the desired haven safe in thy keeping.
Amen.
