I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me.
In all these ways, O merciful Lord, may you guide our efforts for the good of the people of California. Rain down upon us the waters of wisdom. Let the rivers of compassion flow through our hearts. Have surge the springs of hope in our souls. May the crafted wooden tree which bore such precious fruit extend its boughs across this formidable frontier of dreams and carry us into the sea of your boundless mercy whose currents run forever and ever. ─AMEN.
