Dear Lord please be with us this day and help us to have wisdom to keep us from acting in the wrong manner or saying the wrong thing in a sudden response to something that has been said or done to us. Help us to understand that sometimes silence is the best response, and please may the love of the Holy Spirit have control over us on this day and may we be peacemakers saying and doing as we think Jesus would want. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV
Mt 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Jas 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Pr 11:18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
Isa 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Patient
Dear Lord please be with us on this day and please may the Holy Spirit be with us for the strength to stand firm for what we know is right. If there is doubt in what to do help us to be patient and not rush into making a choice that we may not want to look back on later in time. Thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and please forgive our sins, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Doers
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the things that we try to do work out alright and for the best. Please may the Holy Spirit be with us guiding and protecting us in all that we do. Please help us to see new understanding in Your Word as this day goes by and may we be doers not just talkers of Your Word, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV
Lu 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Lu 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Lu 6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Mistakes
Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may the Holy Spirit be by our side and keep us from making mistakes by saying or doing something that would turn our day from good to bad by hurting someones feelings or causing anger to enter in to a relationship. Please help us see ways of preventing others from making mistakes in what they say or do without criticizing them or making them feel bad, but instead making them feel good and increasing their self esteem. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV
1Sa 12:21 And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
1Sa 12:22 For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
1Sa 12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
1Sa 12:24 Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

Leading
Dear Lord please be with us this day and please give us the wisdom to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in our thoughts and deeds. Please lead us gently to humility and humbleness with out our stumbling over vanity and vain thoughts to some tragic end. Please may we see the right path all day long even as circumstances change may our virtues be strong and may we end the day with a strong sense of God's love, joy, and peace of mind, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
Help us see the parallel of our lives in the wilderness and the Israelites as they were being humbled by the Lord.
De 8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
De 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Wealth
Dear Lord please give us strength on this day to cope with what ever comes our way, may it be sweet or sour. Help us to learn how to be concerned with what is important, and let the unimportant things be let go from our care. Please may the Holy Spirit guide us through the narrow avenues of thought as we try to separate the wealth of neighborly love and fellowship, from the ugliness of the love of the coveted wealth and material things of the world, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Pr 11:28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
Pr 30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Pr 30:9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
Mt 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mt 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mt 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

good
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit be with us guiding and protecting us as we tread the paths that lay before us. Please may we reflect the Love of Jesus Christ to others as we interact with Your Children on this day. Please may we help others see good where they have not seen it before, and may love and kindness begin to dominate instead of hate and greed. Thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and on this day may we all concentrate on the power of Love for our neighbors in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
