Bless me that I may perceive Thee through the windows of all joyous activities. Mayest Thou look at me and cheer me always, while I am engaged in my duties. Let my every activity ¬– walking, sleeping, dreaming – be sprayed with Thy Presence.
Father, teach me to perform every work just to please Thee. Let me feel that Thou art the electricity of my life, which moves the machinery of my bones, nerves and muscles. In every heart-throb, every breath, every burst of vital activity, teach me to feel Thy Power.
