Not Into Paths of Despair

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit 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 not into paths of despair because of the evil that is in the world and the way that those who would attempt to gain from the hate and greed that is generated from every evil word that is spoken as we struggle to find a hand hold for Your Love in our thought and deed.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of  fellowship and Christian Love that will help to silence the evil screams of hate and greed, but instead bring more of Your Children into Your Presence, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
With heights of joy in serving my Master I am happily familiar.  But into the very depths of despair-such an inward sinking, as I cannot describe-I have likewise sunk.  Yet I do know that my Redeemer lives, that the battle is sure, that the victory is safe. -Spurgeon
