Golden Rule
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may opportunities be apparent to us to help others. When others need protection may we not shy away, but show sympathy and kindness. Please may the Holy Spirit guide us to be loyal to You and Your teachings, other than any one earthly person or group of people. Please help us to live by the golden rule and be good christian people even when it is not the popular thing to do, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV
Mt 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Lu 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Ro 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
