Away From Selfish Attitudes

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 away from selfish attitudes and laziness that do not remember worse times of want and hopeless embarrassment of needs unfulfilled.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of honorable unity and service to the needs of others without any selfish considerations that are found to be with unnecessary causes to be concerned for the comfort of rest and peace for ourselves that are there in reach anyway, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
No one is happy or free who lives only for himself.  Joy in living comes from immersion in something one recognizes to be bigger, better, worthier, more enduring than he himself is.  "True happiness and true freedom come from squandering one's self for a purpose." -McGeehon
