• In your morning prayer each new day, ask Heavenly Father to guide you to recognize an opportunity to serve one of His precious children.

If you do this, your spiritual sensitivities will be enlarged and you will discover opportunities to serve that you never before realized were possible.

• A Morning Prayer The day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating concerns and duties. Help us to play the man; help us to perform them with laughter and kind faces, let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our business all this day. Bring us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonored and grant us in the end the gift of sleep.
