SWS: A Prayer for Everyday

The following prayer is by St. Basil the Great. I expect the prayer was originally written in Greek. I found it in a book that had translated it into Jacobean English (i.e., like the King James Bible). I have updated the language a bit. This is a good prayer for everyday living. I hope you will find it Something Worth Sharing. ♥cap

=========

Eternal God, maker of all creation, endless source of loving-kindness, let now the light of your countenance rise upon us! Shine into our hearts, O true sun of righteousness, and fill our souls with your beauty. Direct according to your will the work of our hands, and lead us in the right way to do that which is pleasing in your sight; so that through us, unworthy though we be, your holy name may be glorified, to whom be praise, honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
—St. Basil (330-379)
