The Rev. Dr. Wilmot T. Merchant, II - Rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, took the "In the Morning" prayer from the Book of Common Prayer, Page 461, and reworked it into the form below to be used at the beginning of corporate worship on Sundays at St. Stephen's.

"Gracious and most loving God, this is the beginning of another day (the beginning of another week), and we do not know what it has in store, but make us ready for whatever that might be. If we are to stand up, help us to stand bravely. If we are to sit still, help us to sit quietly. If we are to lie low, help us to do it patiently. And if we are to do nothing, help us not to be anxious, but to entrust all our cares and concerns to you. Make these words more than words, and give us the Spirit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, your son we pray. (This prayer can become personal by changing the "we" to "I.")
