Clever and Wise

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in all that we say and do. Please use us this day to bring peace where it might not have been, to bring love where it might not have been, and to bring forgiveness where it might not have been. Please show us how to be clever and wise using Your Love so as to defeat evil with it's own traps and snares of lustful hate and greed. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings that You have given us, and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
