To Persevere

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 understand our limitations and please enter into our thoughts and worries with answers and solutions as to how we should handle the problems that we find on our path every day.
Dear Lord please help us see to enter into our daily paths with thanksgiving and positive wonder of how we are even here to function in Your Creation among Your Children.
Dear Lord please help us have attitudes that will be of great witness to Your Love and Your Teaching of how to live and persevere in this world of hate and greed.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths that will make us strong and wise so that we may demonstrate the power of Your Love, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

You have received Christ; persevere in receiving him.  You have come to trust him; keep on trusting him.  You hang about his neck as a poor, helpless sinner; remain hanging there.  Abide in him. -Spurgeon

Mt 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Mt 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Mt 18:25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Mt 18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Mt 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

Mt 18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Mt 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
Mt 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Mt 18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Mt 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
