As I perform my duty Lord
Whatever be the call
Help to guide and keep me safe
From dangers big and small

I want to serve and do my best
No matter what the scene
I pledge to keep my skills refined
My judgement quick and keen

This calling to give of myself
Most do not understand
But I stand ready at the time
To help my fellow man

To have the chance to help a child
Restore his laugh with glee
A word of thanks I might not hear
But knowing its enough for me

The praise of men is fine for some
But I feel truly blessed
That you oh Lord have chosen me
To serve in EMS

Lord help me to relax about insignificant details
beginning tomorrow at 7:41:23 am PST

God help me to consider people’s feelings,
even if most of them ARE hypersensitive.

God help me to take responsibility for my own actions,
even though they’re usually NOT my fault.

God, help me to not try to RUN everything.
But, if You need some help, please feel free to ASK me!

Lord, help me to be more laid back,
and help me to do it EXACTLY right.

God help me to take things more seriously,
especially laughter, parties, and dancing.

God give me patience,
and I mean right NOW!

Lord help me not be a perfectionist.
(Did I spell that correctly?)

God, help me to finish everything I sta . .

God, help me to keep my mind on
one th — Look, a bird — ing at a time.

God help me to do only what I can, and trust you for the rest.
And would you mind putting that in writing?

Lord keep me open to others’ ideas,
WRONG though they may be.

Lord help me be less independent,
but let me do it my way.

Lord help me follow established procedures today.
On second thought, I’ll settle for a few minutes.

Lord, help me slow down
and not rush through what I do.

Amen.

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, “Woe on those who call evil good,” but that’s exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.

We confess that :

We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism.
We have worshiped other gods and called it multi-culturalism.
We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn children and called it a choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.
We have abused power and called it political savvy.
We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to the center of Your will.

I ask it in the name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
