Morning Prayer for Day 21

"O Holy Spirit of God, visit now this soul of mine, and tarry within it until eventide.
Inspire all my thoughts.
Pervade all my imaginations.
Suggest all my decisions.
Lodge in my will's most inward citadel and order
all my doings.
Be with me in my silence and in my speech,
in my haste and
in my leisure,
in company and in solitude,
in the freshness of the morning and
in the weariness of the evening;
and give me grace at all times to rejoice in Your mysterious companionship."

-John Baillie, A Diary of Private Prayer
