Help me, Lord, today I pray,
to remember that though all of life
is but a vapor,
I must still give an account
for all deeds done in this body of flesh.

Help me to remember
that though I am flesh
yet you have caused your Spirit
to live in me,
that my body is become your temple.

Help me to remember
that true and spiritual worship
requires a harmony of action and belief,
that whatever is done or left undone
for the least of these your family

is done or not done
for you.

Help me today, O Lord,
to seek justice,
to love mercy
and to walk humbly
before you.

Amen.
