Adversity

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 help us use any adversity that we have to encounter as handles to pull ourselves up into a stronger and wiser position in our place of patience tempting and hardship moments of strife.
Dear Lord please show us ways to use all things that hinder us on our path into seeking Your Kingdom to an advantage toward finding good and overcoming all problems, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
