AT THE START OF EACH DAY

As I wake, I will give thanks for a new day; my yesterdays are gone, and I need to let them go.

I will endeavour this day to live a simple, sincere, and serene life, promptly repelling every negative thought.

 I will ensure that I spend time in quiet contemplation, dealing with the issues on my heart, mind and soul.

I will endeavour to be peaceful, cheerful, loving and understanding to all I meet.

I will care for my body (correct eating, diet, exercise...), my mind (study, reading, writing, podcasts, discussions, lectures, ...), my soul (worship, meditation, prayer…)

I will be mindful of how I use my money; wisdom in saving, expenditure and giving.

I will endeavour to be trustworthy in all I do.

I will be ever mindful of the needs of others, recognizing that we belong to the human race and each person; regardless of colour, creed, status, nationality, is of infinite value.

I will try to be faithful in those habits of prayer, work, study, physical exercise, eating, and sleep which the Holy Spirit has shown me to be right.

And as I cannot in my own strength do this, nor even with a hope of success attempt it, I look to You O Lord God; my Father, Jesus my Saviour and ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit to guide me.
