Today's Prayer

Gracious and Loving God, He came and told us Today, the scripture is fulfilled. Today, we are pardoned and unburdened. Today, our sight is restored. Today, right here, right now … Be Thou my vision this day. I seek Thy vision not for tomorrow, not for some future day when I am more worthy and more prepared to know and understand, I seek Thy vision this day. Grant to me the flooding of my whole self with the light of Thy countenance that I may know directly when I have missed the way— when I have drifted out of the channel of Thy Purpose. Be Thou my vision this day! Amen.

By Rev. Ted Crass, President, The United Methodist Foundation of New England. Inspiration: Luke 4.21-30; Excerpt from “Be Thou My Vision” in Meditations of the Heart, by Howard Thurman.
