Not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, but those You called came early in the morning to hear You. May we also come faithfully each morning to seek You, to hear You, to be conformed to Your image. And may we not neglect to retire in the evening, away from the day's distractions, to seek Your strength that we might be faithful to Your work each day. For Your sake, Amen.
