A prayer for the day from Charles Kingsley (1819-1875)

Stir us up to offer to you, O Lord, our bodies, our souls, our spirits, in all we love, and all we learn, in all we plan, and all we do, to offer our labours, our pleasures, our sorrows to you; to work through them for your Kingdom, to live as those who are not their own, but bought with your blood.
