Humble and Patient Love

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. 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.
Dear Lord please show us paths to follow on this day that will be productive to follow and please give us all of the strength, patience, and understanding that we need to follow them. But whatever paths they are and however difficult they are to tread, may humble and patient love prevail over all other emotions. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
