Sovereign Lord, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for You. Great are Your purposes and mighty are Your deeds. Your eyes are open to all the ways of men; You reward everyone according to their conduct and deeds.

As we begin this week, help us in our quest: not to be eloquent, but effective; not profound, but efficient; not masterful, but a true servant.

As we seek to implement our plans, may it be in concert with Your counsel and Your purposes.

Blessed are You, Lord God, for You have given us rest according to all Your promises. We appreciate Your kindness, goodness and grace.
