Cruelty

Dear Lord please be with us today and may this be a good day for us and people that we have contact with, and the whole world. May we not insist that the world be perfect according to our view and that all i's be dotted and t's crossed according to our perfectionist views of Your Will. May the cruelty of criticism not always be at our first inclination on how to best witness to the Gospel Of Jesus Christ our savior. May love of our fellow men dominate the direction of our thoughts and may we not fall into the temptation of deciding who deserves the love of God. In Jesus Christ name we pray, amen.

Mt 7:3 KJV And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

May we feel free to show brotherly love to all of God's children no matter the circumstance, and may we openly challenge whatever or whoever might be trying to limit this love. Please may the things that we try to do today work out alright and for the best, In Jesus Christ name we pray, amen.

Patient Ego

Dear Lord please be with us today and may this day be one that we can cherish when it is gone past. May we not be in a hurry for our will to be met, but be able to wait for Yours.
