Dear Lord please be with us this day and help us have the understanding to hear and submit to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Please help us find the virtues to live as we should on this day, with our thoughts and deeds patterned after Jesus Christ and please give us the patience and wisdom to find our own shortcomings and mistakes that need correcting, instead of taking on the job of finding the faults of others. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Lu 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Lu 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Lu 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Lu 6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

Waste
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit protect us all day with the armour of God, to prevent a negative attitude from taking over our thoughts and deeds and making us take paths into a kingdom of waste, where time of thought and deed has no value and does good for no one, possibly even harming some innocent bystanders with gossip or slander and leading others into the kingdom of waste where negative thoughts of selfish greed are too strong to overcome without the Love and Truth of Jesus Christ. Please may the Holy Spirit lead us away from the harm of wasted time and onto the positive paths of seeking Your Kingdom, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Ro 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Ro 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Ro 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Not to Worry
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit take us to paths that will lead to confidence, peace of mind, and joy for others and ourselves. As we evaluate the happenings of the day may we not build them into problems to worry about or make problems where they are not simply by worrying about what might happen, instead help us learn to turn everything over to You so we can enjoy overcoming challenges and making good things come from what seemed to be bad, for others and ourselves. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Which Kingdom to Seek
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit prevent us from straying off of the paths that would lead to Your Kingdom where positive virtues abound.

Please may the Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us all through this day and at it's end may we enjoy the peace and joy that Jesus Christ brings to those who surrender to him. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
