This you have been called to do: To be like-minded

All of you should be like-minded,
      sympathetic, loving toward one another,
      kindly disposed, and humble.

Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult.
Return a blessing instead.

This you have been called to do,
that you may receive a blessing as your inheritance.
1 Peter 3:8-9

Father, accept my morning prayer.

God our creator,
you gave us the earth to cultivate
and the sun to serve our needs.

Help us to spend this day
for your glory and our neighbor's good.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
