Sacrifice

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 into paths of love and sacrifice on this day whether it be monetary or a sacrifice of authority or a position of power if only in some social order or structure, please let us give way to love and not be a slave and servant to the thoughts of hate and greed, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Heb 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Heb 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
