Please may the Holy Spirit bring thoughts to mind that past days are gone and new fertile fields lay fallow in our future. Please lead us into patient humility and may we be slow to speak and have compassion with understanding for others, while trying to learn the truths that are the Gospel of Jesus the Christ, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV
Jas 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Pr 17:27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
Pr 17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
Php 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Positive Love
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may this be a day that we find new friends when we look at people from a perspective of forgiveness and understanding. Please may the Holy Spirit give us new insight into our ways of association with others and what we say to them, and how we treat them. Help us to give examples of positive love and reflections of the ways that the Lord has blessed us, to all that we meet, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Ga 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Ga 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Friendship
Dear Lord please be with us this day and help us understand the truth of having a friendship. Please may the Holy Spirit guide us through the paths of thought and understanding of the responsibility of having friends. Help us see that there is an inconvenience of having friends, and it can be a sacrifice of giving more than is comfortable without promise of return and only then do we reap the reward of having friends when there is a true exchange of brotherly love with no requirements, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Pains
Dear Lord please be with us this day and please help us to have virtues that the Holy Spirit can use to guide us to freedom from the pains of our life. Whether they be physical or emotional pains caused by poor judgement and misguided values, help us cast these pains aside to no longer be felt as we surrender control of our lives to the Lord, in Jesus Christ' name we pray, amen.
