Our Morning Offering – 25 February

Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve You as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labour and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do Your will.
Amen.

Our Morning Offering – 14 February

Keep me, O God, from pettiness;
let me be large in thought,
in word,
in deed.
Let me be done with fault-finding and self-seeking.
May I put away all pretense
and meet everyone face to face
without self-pity and without prejudice.
May I never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
Let me take time for all things.
Make me grow calm, serene and gentle.
Teach me to put into action my better impulses,
straightforward and unafraid.
Grant that I may realise it is the little things of life
that create differences
and that in the big things of life we are one.
And, O Lord God, let me not forget to be kind!
Through kindness itself, Your Son, Jesus Christ, amen.
