Dear Lord please be with us this day and please help us to remember to relax, and float for rest in the waters of despair and depression, instead of struggling and flailing about like a poor soul about to drown, fighting against what we cannot control. When the storms of life rage let us find comfort with the Holy Spirit Who is the Comforter, by searching for scripture that has a positive message and the reassurance necessary to bring us into the arms of our Shepherd, Jesus the Christ, in Jesus Christ's name we pray,amen.
KJV
Mt 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Mt 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Excitement
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit show us paths to take that will lead us to new destinations as we seek Your Kingdom. Please help us to not lose what humility we have as we travel these paths today and be wise enough to share our victories with others if we have successes that may excite us to the point of boasting. Help us to bring others to this point of excitement in discovering the wonderful peace of mind found when surrendering our will to Yours, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
