Ignorance

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be with us guiding and protecting us in all that we say and do. Please help us find paths to walk on this day that will make us see the positive things and blessings in our lives. Please may we not fall into a worldly pit of remorse over the actions of others, and the ignorant lines of thought that always seem to be generated by those who are walking the worldly paths of hate and greed. Please may the paths we find to walk on this day take us into a garden of righteousness where we may lay down our burdens and find rest from this world in the knowledge that You will forgive our sins as we forgive the mistakes of others, and that You will deliver us from evil. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
