There are times, O Lord, when we feel the need of a double measure of Your help. Such a portion we seek this day and throughout this week. Responsibilities and decisions weigh heavily upon our shoulders. Give us visions to see and wills to do that which is of greatest value to Your people. As we deliberate and debate, may we do so with sincerity and understanding. Help us to do our part well, to think clearly, to speak kindly, to act wisely as we walk in the light of Your impeccable truths - that we may hear at eventide "well done" from the Master of all good workmen. In all things, may Your will be done.

Amen.
