Weighing Our Values

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 travel with us in our thoughts and actions on this day and please help us weigh the values that we carry and please help us consider if these values are dragging us down into depression or are these values lifting our hearts into the beauty of the days experiences like the laughter of children with shining faces, the greetings shared by the old, and like the simple beauty of birds singing in the sunshine or wild flowers glistening wet with dew drops on their petals.
Dear Lord please lead us into the many paths of humble love that we may pass by on the other side of the roads that we travel if our values are dictated by the hate and greed of worldly lust. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.  

KJV*
Pr 3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: 
Pr 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 

Pr 3:27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. 
Pr 3:28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. 

Mt 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 
Mt 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 
Mt 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
