2Pe 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Isa 11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Isa 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
Jas 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

Peace
Dear Lord please be with us this day and help us find peace of mind and for our souls. Please show us ways to bring peace of mind to others and ways to encourage peace between adversaries. May the Holy Spirit lead us to seek the powers of peace and love rather than seeking the false glories of the world that only lead to disaster in the end of all searches, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV
Isa 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Ro 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
1Co 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Richer
Dear Lord please be with us today and may this day be one of harmony with You and Your Will being done. Whatever happens may we learn from it and be richer from the experience. Please forgive our sins and thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us. Please bless us with the Holy Spirit and show us new and great wonders on this day if it be Thy Will, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV
1Jo 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1Jo 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
1Jo 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

Task at Hand
Dear Lord please be with us this day and please help us to be capable of handling what ever task may be at hand on this day. Please may the tasks and burdens become as light as feathers as we are guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit. Please may our faith grow stronger with each action that we need to perform and may we feel the Divine Love of the Holy Spirit working through all things as they happen, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV
Ps 90:17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
1Co 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
