Dear Lord please be with us this day and help us to see the unmarred beauty of Your creation. May we disregard what man has done that may be marring our view, or we can pray that the Holy Spirit would give us the right perspective or viewpoint to see Your creation as presented where often the knarling of age and wear can become beautiful. Thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and please forgive our sins of coveting, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Mt 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Mt 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Mt 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Mt 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Mt 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Heb 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Problems
Dear Lord please be with us this day and please help us, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, be able to overcome our problems. Please give us the knowledge and understanding that no problem is too big for us to overcome when we are in the company of the Lord. May we use our problems as opportunities to grow in faith and witness to our Lord Jesus the Christ, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV
Ro 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Ro 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
