INTERCESSION
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians iv, 8).
Eternal God, let not the strife of sinful men blind our eyes or close our minds to the beautiful and the good in the world that Thou hast made. Keep us ever sensitive to the intimations of the Divine that come to us through Nature’s miracles and through the nobler traits of human character. In Ihem may we see Thy mind reflected, that, in the midst of turmoil, our faith in Thy Providence may not be shaken, our conviction that evil shall be overthrown may be strengthened. Setting our affections on qualities approved of Thee, use us to establish Thy righteous kingdom in the hearts of men.
