Lord, it belongs not to my care whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, and this Thy grace must give.
If life be long, I will be glad, that I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad to welcome endless day?
Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet Thy blessèd face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet what will Thy glory be!.”
– Richard Baxter, Lord, it Belongs Not to My Care

A Prayer for Today: O God, the strength of those that put their trust in you, mercifully accept our prayers; and because through the weakness of our mortal nature we can do no good thing without you, grant us the help of your grace, that in the keeping of your commandments we may please you, both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
