Aunt Ida's Prayer

Father whose life is within me and whose love is ever about me, 
grant that this life may be maintained in my life today and every day, 
that with gladness of heart, without haste or confusion of thought,

I may go about my daily tasks,

conscious of my ability to meet every rightful demand,

seeing the larger meaning of little things 

and finding beauty and love every where.

And in the sense of Thy presence may I walk,

through the hours breathing the atmosphere of love 

rather than anxious striving.
