Morning Prayer for the day - 1/3/07 - by William Barclay

O God, our Father, bless us and keep us all through today.
At our work, make us diligent,
ever showing ourselves to be workmen who have no need to be ashamed.
In our pleasure,
help us to find delight only in such things as bring no regrets to follow.
In our homes, make us kind and considerate,
ever trying to make the work of others easier, and not harder.
In our dealings with our fellow-men,
make us courteous and kindly.
In our dealings with ourselves,
make us honest to face the truth.
And in every moment of this day make us ever to remember that You,
God, see us, and that in You we live and move and have our being.
So grant that we may do nothing which would bring shame to ourselves,
grief to those who love us, and sorrow to You!
Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen

Apostles" Creed

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell: The third day he rose again from the dead:He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead: I believe in the Holy Ghost: I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints: The forgiveness of sins: The resurrection of the body: And the life everlasting. Amen.

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
