A Guider's Prayer

O God, give me a sense of the greatness of the work I do within this movement.

Help me to do it faithfully and diligently, and grant that nothing may persuade me ever to be absent from duty when I can be there.

Help me to grudge no effort to train and equip myself to do my work in the movement as well as I can do it.

Give me a sense of responsibility and help me always to remember that my example is more important than my words, and that I teach by what I am, more than by what I say.

And, help me to find joy in seeing girls grow up and be good citizens of this country and good citizens of Your Kingdom, and in knowing that, by Your grace, I had something to do with it.

This I ask for love's sake.

Amen
