Wants, Not Needs

 

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 new and uncharted waters without mishap as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation and please may our expectations not be to the point of overwhelming the abilities of those who we are dealing with while seeking Your Kingdom, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
