Patiently Waiting

Dear Lord please lead us into paths of understanding on this day so that we may live in communion of thought and mind with others and perform deeds that will help to further Your Kingdom in our midst.
Dear Lord please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do and please lead us away from struggles for power or recognition and please show us avenues that will lead into peace and tranquility and please condition us into patience so that we can wait with a settled down attitude of complacency, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
