Pride's Strength

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 show us ways to turn pride's strength of boasting into a strength of caring love and unselfish sharing of time and possession as we continue to seek Your Kingdom, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
