Happiness

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Please help us see what needs to be done for this to be a day of happiness for those that we touch, and please show us how to prevent conflicts of time or interest that might cause problems for anyone. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others. Please may this be a good day and may the things that we try to do work out alright and for the best, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
