To Live Away From Strife

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 the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us away from paths where the dictation to fulfilling our needs is to overcome the neighbors needs by fulfilling our own as though we were still animals with the carnal urges of competition.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of generosity and caring for our neighbor's needs as tho they were our own as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation while we seek Your Kingdom, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
Competition, founded upon the conflicting interests of individuals, is in reality far less productive of wealth and enterprise than cooperation, involving though it does the constant apparent sacrifice of the individual to the common interests. --R.H. Benson
