A Prayer to Begin the Day from Daily Prayer

O GOD, the God of all goodness and grace, who art worthy of a greater love than we can either give or understand: Fill our hearts, we beseech thee, with such love towards thee that nothing may seem too hard for us to do or to suffer in obedience to thy will; that so we may become daily more like thee, and dwell more and more in the light of thy presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

–adapted from Farnham Hostel (a theological training school from 1899-1915 led by principal Canon B. K. Cunningham) Daily Prayer, Eric Milner-White and G. W. Briggs, eds. (London: Penguin Books 1959 edition of the 1941 original)
