Temptation

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us all through this day in all that we say and do. Please lead us to paths that we might tread into the doing of Your Work as we seek Your Kingdom on this day. Please help us display our blessings with humility and as a humble witness of Your caring love for us. Please forgive our selfishness and coveting greed when we stray to paths where the treading is dangerous because of pitfalls and traps laid out before us by the evil lusting song of temptation for worldly lives and goods. 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.
