Daily Prayers Dissolve your cares
I meet God in the morning
and go with him through the day,
Then in the stillness of the night
before sleep comes I pray
That God will just take over
all the problems I couldn't solve,
And in the peacefulness of sleep
my cares will all dissolve.
So when I open up my eyes
to greet another day,
I'll find myself renewed in strength
and there will open up a way
To meet what seemed impossible
for me to solve alone,
And once again I'll be assured
I am never on my own.
For if we try to stand alone
we are weak and we will fall,
For God is always greatest
when we're helpless, lost and small,
And no day is unmeetable
if, on rising, our first thought
Is to thank God for the blessings
that His loving care has brought,
For there can be no failures
or hopeless, unsaved sinners
If we enlist the help of God,
who makes all losers winners.
So meet Him in the morning
and go with Him through the day,
And thank Him for his guidance
each evening when you pray -
And if you follow faithfully
this daily way to pray,
You will never in your lifetime
face another hopeless day.
- Helen Steiner Rice
