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 choose paths that will prepare us for witness for the sake of those who may be seeking Your Kingdom. Thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and please forgive our sins as we forgive the mistakes of others. Please lead us to understand the difference between having all that we need with peace of mind from living with simplicity, or trying to cope with a world of lustful greed and envy, full of disappointment and misplaced allegiance to a selfish creed. Please help us to live by the golden rule, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air. -Schiller

Pr 15:21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
Pr 15:22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. 

Isa 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Isa 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Mt 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mt 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 
Mt 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
