To Learn of Others

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 favor and paths that will not be flamboyant and full of self praise and show into the realm of ridiculous and blow off of indignant self loving selfish rhetoric about ourselves as we greet others who are more interesting to learn of, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
