To Love Your Enemies

 

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 have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please lead us into paths of gentle thoughts and deeds as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world even as we must ponder at Your Words of Love, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
