Help Others

Dear Lord please be with us this day, may the Holy Spirit be with and guide us as we walk the paths of this day. Please help us to be generous, yet wise in what we say and do. May we not promise what we cannot do, yet be watching for ways to do all that we can to help others find the peace and joy of Your Kingdom. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Ro 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Ro 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Prodding

Dear Lord please be with us this day, may we have obvious opportunities to further the work of Your Kingdom and to help Your Will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Please help us to act to the prodding of the Holy Spirit as these opportunities arise and may we feel a warming of our hearts as we sense positive results. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV

Ro 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Ro 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Influence

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please keep us safe as we travel where ever that might be. Whether it be in our thoughts or on the highways and byways. If we influence others by our presence and actions, please may it be a positive and helpful influence, and may it help to light the way to Your Kingdom in Jesus Christ's name we pray, for Thine is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory Forever, amen.

Quotation:
A candle is a small thing. But one candle can light another. And as it gives its flames to the other, see how its own light increases! Light is the power to dispel darkness. You have this power to move back the darkness in yourself and in others with the birth of light created when one mind illuminates another, when one heart kindles another, when one man strengthens another. And its flame also enlarges within you as you pass it on. -The Eternal Light

KJV
Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Heb 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled

Blessed

Dear Lord You have blessed us again, so many times when circumstances seem to be going negative, every thing turns to the positive. Our lives will be richer after having lived these experiences and we will gain in being confident and capable of handling problems as they arise. Dear Lord thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and please guide us and protect us through Your Holy Spirit's influence in our lives. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV
Ps 89:15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
Ps 89:16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
Ps 89:17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

Compassion

Dear Lord please be with us all on this day, please may this day be one of compassion and forgiveness with the Holy Spirit bringing comfort to the world. Please may the hearts of the strong be softened, and the weak and the poor be satisfied with food and loving care. Please guide us to live with true compassion for those in need, and to truly give help unselfishly, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV
Mt 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Ps 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

1Jo 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
1Jo 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

Jas 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Listen

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may we listen to the Holy Spirit as we travel the paths of the day. May we not react rashly to circumstances and speak words that will hurt others or cause more rash reactions. Help us to be guided by the Holy Spirit to wisdom and patience that will influence others not to be rash in their reactions. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV
Jas 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Jas 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

Ps 32:9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Heb 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
