Give me an attentive mind, Lord, keen and alert so that I can concentrate and grasp my Lesson. Give me, an eager mind to learn something new everyday And my aim always be to pierce the veil of the visible World to reach you.
O invisible Eternal. Unchangeable Truth, ………………..Amen !
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy purpose Lord, make me an instrument of Thy purpose Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, forgiveness; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light, where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; not so much seek to be understand, as to understand; not so much seek to be loved, as to love. For, it is in giving, that we receive, it is in forgiveness, that we are forgiven.
Let my life be a life of dedication Let my vital breath, ears, eyes, intellect and spirit be dedicated to service; Let my love and understanding. my prosperity and my knowledge be dedicated to service. Let the service be made in a spirit of utter sacrifice. from the unreal Lead me to the real from darkness Lead me to light. from death … lead me to immortality. …….. Amen ! (Upnishad)
Each day I’ll do a golden deed. By helping those who are in need My life on earth is but a span And so I’ll do the best I can. CH:____
Life’s evening sun is sinking low A few more days and 1 must go To reap the deeds that I have done. And where there will be no setting sun. While going down life’s weary road And try to lift some travellers load I’ll try to turn their night today Make flowers bloom along the way

Dear Lord,
Teach me always to appreciate the precious gift of a family. Show me ever new ways to protect & comfort those closest to me and let me, each day say something that will say ‘I love you’ Let me never part from any member of my family in anger.
Prompt me always to turn back without delaying to forgive & be forgiven. And let me see your image within each person of my own family and my greater family. Knowing that in your kingdom, we will truly be one family, united by your sacrifice. …… Amen !
Oh God, grant me this boon, That I may never refrain from good actions. That I may fight fearlessly, all evil with courage. That I may forgive those, who sin against me. That I may be true, sincere and honest, in all my actions. That when this life approaches its end I may die fighting with great courage. Thank You God.
O God, Help me always to be happy and cheerful. Help me still to smile even when things go wrong. Help me always to look at the bright side of the things, and always to remember that, even when things are their worst, there is still something to be thankful for. Don’t let me grumble and be a wet blanket. Help me to find my happiness, not in doing what I want, but in doing what you want, & not in thinking of myself, but thinking of others.
