To Have Courage

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 into paths of knowledge and wise understanding as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation as we seek Your Kingdom among the problems and temptations of this evil world of greed and hate even though we have not always the courage to stand up and be heard, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Have courage for the great sorrow of life, and patience for the smaller ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.  God is awake. --Victor Hugo
