Lord,

Help me to guard my heart against the intrusion of the world. 

Guard my mind to keep it focused on You. 

Help me remember and act upon the fact that everything – everything – will fall into place as long as I recognize You as Lord and center of my life.

Protect me from the clutter of materialism, the rubbish of anxiety, the frenzy of busyness, the weight of bitterness, and the vanity of perceived control. 

I commend this day and all the days of my life to You.

Jude 1:²⁴ Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, ²⁵ To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
