“Lord, keep us from following the gods of pride, stubbornness, vanity, sloth, greed and comfort that beckon for our allegiance every day. You brought us through the night watches, you who neither slumber nor sleep. We pray to follow you along the path of generosity, humility, and love throughout the day. Amen.”
