Failing

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 give us understanding when we fail, and show us how to have love for ourselves when we are disappointed in our own weaknesses if we give in to worldly cares and do not listen to the calls of the Holy Spirit. Please keep us from putting the love of money and our own pleasures ahead of our love for others. 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.
