Thoughtful Searching

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 be leading us into paths of fellowship and mutual sharing of burdens and humble love on this day and please show us where to be unselfish and generous with the blessings and gifts that You have given us, and please guide us into paths of thoughtful searching for the beauty of Your Creation in every creature and object that we touch within the senses that You have given us, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
