Encouragement

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 help us feel encouragement as the day goes by as things will seem to all work out well and we will feel adequate and strong enough to complete the tasks that must be done. Please lead us on confident paths that will help others that we touch to find the encouragement and the strength necessary in their lives to cope with and complete the tasks that they must face. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
