Perseverance

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 perseverance and deliberate attitudes of praise and love directed to those of our family and friends who support us with love and care as we struggle against the evils of this world even as we are seeking Your Peace and the Joy of Your Kingdom, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:
