Spiritual Position

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 give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of thought and deed that will be of benefit to others and to ourselves by shaping our circumstances and values and priorities and attitudes as we establish ourselves in a spiritual position to seek Your Kingdom, not by traditions of old, but by the Truths taught by Jesus Christ.

Dear Lord please lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory for ever, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

Quotation:*
It is the oldest temptation in the world, and the most fruitful parent of sins, and the most dangerous temptation- in that it contains so much truth- to regard self rather than God as the center in which spiritual effort must originate. --R.H. Benson 

KJV*
Php 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
