Adversity

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 understand that adversity is good for us and that if we learn to use it as a teacher and use it to help others find shelter in Your presence as we have before and as we do every time we feel alone and in want and in need, we can help open the way to the path to Your Kingdom for ourselves and others.
