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 forgiveness and understanding as we mix and mingle with Your Children while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world even in fore thought as we proceed with caution into the days of reconciliation that should lead to love overcoming hate and good overcoming evil, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
Romans 8:17 Ro 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. (KJV)
As per Commentary by Philip Doddridge
And from hence arises a most joyful and triumphant hope; for if we are his children, then we are undoubtedly heirs of a glorious and immortal inheritance; we are then heirs of God, and shall for ever enjoy him as our gracious father, whose presence and love is the very heaven of heaven. And we are also joint-heirs of Christ, we shall enjoy this happiness as with him, in his sight, and shall be formed to a resemblance of him as the great foundation of that enjoyment. But then let it ever be remembered that this is to be taken in connection; it is provided that we are willing not only to deny ourselves in prohibited carnal gratifications, and to govern our lives by his precepts, but also the suffer with {him,} that is, in conformity to him, if called out to it for the honour of God and for the testimony of a good conscience, that so we may also be glorified together with him in that world where he now triumphs, and where all the infamy and pain we endure for his sake shall be amply repaid with honours and joys everlasting.
