A HOUSEWIFE'S PRAYER
![]()
Dear Lord I offer this day to you As I tidy, cook, scrub and clean Bless the oven, lest the food burn ! When chaos and disorder gets to me - A pious mother, and loving wife Surround this Home with Your love.
With its problems and concerns,
Grant understanding and fortitude
Temperance when my patience churns.
Help me do these chores cheerfully.
When taken for granted - I feel mean
Cause me to love unselfishly.
The washer, as it cleans the clothes.
When TV replaces a refusal to learn
Steady my nerves, O grant repose !
When I feel I have reached the end,
Shower drops of peace, in serenity
Be my Comforter, guide, and friend.
I am blessed with this family.
Shield me from vanity and strife.
Grant diligence, grace and purity.
Crush Satan's attempts to divide.
May Your Peace rain down from above -
Take control, O never leave my side!.
