Overcoming 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 walk with us on this day and please help us overcome any adversity that may come along as we recall using the strength of Your Word in the past and please help us reflect the Light of Your Spirit and Love to others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
