Lu 12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Lu 12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Lu 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Lu 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
Lu 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Disappointment
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit guide and protect us in every deed and thought of this day.

Please help us to live by the golden rule, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Hopelessness
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us throughout the day from feelings of hopelessness and depression that can come on us like ravenous beasts if we let our thoughts travel the paths of negativity. Please may the Holy Spirit lead us on paths of positive hope, where memories can remind us of blessings in the past and hope for the future if we but let go and let God have control. Please let the power of the Word of God, and the beauty of His creation, be absorbed into our minds and overcome the hopelessness generated in this lustful world where temptation for material wealth is facing us at every turn if we are not traveling a path of seeking the Kingdom of God. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
