Prayer of the Day for the 8th

Dear Lord, You are Lord of my life. I believe that You have created me and all that exists. Lord, You have given me and still preserve my body and soul with all it’s powers. I thank you that you have provided me with food and clothing, home and family, daily work, and all I need from day to day. I also thank you that you have protected me in time of danger and guarded me from every evil. All this You O Lord have done out of fatherly and divine goodness and mercy, though I do not deserve it. Therefore will thank and praise, serve and obey You, O Lord my God. This is most certainly true. Amen!

(from Luther’s small catechism, meaning of 1st article of the Apostles Creed)
