Patient Silence

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 patient wisdom and understanding as we travel on into another day of life in Your Creation surrounded sometimes by situations that require us to stand back in silence and let circumstances work themselves out.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of patient love and thoughts with wise understanding and attitudes of forgiving mercy as we deal with those who are part of Your plan for us to be with, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
