Morning Prayer

I read the following prayer from the book Great Days with the Great Lives by Chuck Swindoll. It was suggested to be repeated each morning. I think that's a good idea.

Lord, help me today not to add to anybody's burden. Help me to bring encouragement to others. Where I can, enable me to comfort. And when I don't know, help me to admit it. When I feel sorrow and sympathy for someone, help me to say that. Help me to lift the load of the hurting, not to add to their burden.
