There can be no doubt in any man's mind nor in any man's heart that God is our sustenance and our strength. Each of us must believe wholeheartedly and fiercely in the power and the glory and the strength of God. Thus, it would be more proper to say that each man must seek the companionship of God. God awaits each one of us. --Harold K. Johnson

Lu 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Lu 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

Reason
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in all things that we say and do. Please guide us in our use of reason as we ponder the works of man, the works of God, and the foolish lack of reason when man considers any work as if it were separate from God our Heavenly Father! Please allow us to see how the reasoning of the humble love that Jesus teaches is growing in strength and will overcome the evil of hate and greed as the ability of man to reason above the tribal reasoning of carnal man grows in strength through Jesus Christ. 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.

Actions of Value
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 lead us this day on paths that we will be glad that we traveled later on as we consider the value of our actions on this day. 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.
Quotation:*
The identifying of values to which we can all give allegiance is a light preliminary exercise before the real and heroic task: to make the values live. Values have been carved on monuments and spelled out in illuminated manuscripts. We do not need more of that. They must be made to live in the acts of men. --John Gardner
KJV*
Lu 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
Lu 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Ac 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Considering
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us all through the day in every thing that we say and do. Please may this be a day that we will consider to be good when it is over as we ponder over the experiences and touches of others in thought and deed that we have had. 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.
KJV*
Php 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
Php 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Php 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Selfish Goals
Dear Lord please be with us this day and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings that You have given us, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Not in Haste, But in Hope
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 give us the patience and wisdom enough not to jump ahead to unwise decisions that we may be sorry about on another day, but help us take our time and do things after we have had time to consider all aspects of what our decisions mean to ourselves and 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.
