new every morning is Love
and all day long it works for good in the world
it stirs up in us a desire to serve
and to live peaceably
and to devote our days to walking in ways which are life-giving

This is my adaptation from the United Methodist Book of Worship, which contains this prayer:
“New every morning is your love, O great God of Light
and all day long You are working for good in the world.
Stir up in us a desire to serve You
To live peaceable with our neighbors
And to devote each day to your Son, Our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
I’ve adapted it to suit my own theology more closely.
It seems appropos for a day such as this, the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
