Responsibilities

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 have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths that will be a delight to travel on this day and please help us find ways to appreciate Your Creation as we absorb the beauty and wonder of it and please lead us into a more clear understanding of our responsibilities as stewards of the gifts that You have given us, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
