To Search For God's Presence

 

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 the 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 kindness and not into paths of contention for more than we need as we mix and mingle with Your Children while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world and please show us where to knock as we search for Your presence in our lives, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Lu 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Lu 11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Lu 11:11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Lu 11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

Lu 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Quotation:*

The ministry of kindness is a ministry which may be achieved by all men, rich and poor, learned and illiterate.  Brilliance of mind and capacity for deep thinking has rendered great service to humanity, but by themselves they are unable to dry a tear or mend a broken heart. -Anonymous
