Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your mercy and for the body You have formed. We ask You to grant our brother and sister discipline and a clear and focused mind, and self control that is steady and joyful. Help them to be consistent day by day, to rise and do what is needed without delay. Remove the obstacles that lead to procrastination, and where obstacles remain, give wisdom to order time and duties rightly and courage to put aside what entangles. Restore strength to the weak areas, ease soreness, and grant health for Your service. Keep them from discouragement when progress is slow, and teach them to trust Your help in small things. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who alone is our salvation and our strength. Amen.
