Love, Not Despair

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 great understanding and remorse as we wiegh the responce of others to our needs and please show us where to look for healing as we fall back into the darkness of despair and please show us the places to seek help as we move about mixing and mingling with Your Children in Your Creation, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
With heights of joy in serving my Master I am happily familiar.  But into the very depths of despair-such an inward sinking, as I cannot describe-I have likewise sunk.  Yet I do know that my Redeemer lives, that the battle is sure, that the victory is safe. -Spurgeon
