Mother’s Prayer As I open my heart, my mind to thee, O God, with the joyfulness of the new experiences that may be mine, wilt thou be my guide. May I make my will, my mind, my soul, daily in accordance with that service that thou wouldst have me render too my fellow man. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be more and more acceptable unto thee, my Lord and redeemer, for thou may live in me as thou hast promised. That the glory of the Father may be manifested in those that love his ways. Help thou mine unbelief. Make thou mind and heart clean. Renewing a righteous spirit within me, thou hast promised to be near. Theodosia Hill
