Dear Lord please be with us this day and help us have the understanding to hear and submit to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Please help us find the virtues to live as we should on this day, with our thoughts and deeds patterned after Jesus Christ and please give us the patience and wisdom to find our own shortcomings and mistakes that need correcting, instead of taking on the job of finding the faults of others. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Lu 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Lu 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Lu 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Lu 6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

Waste
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit protect us all day with the armour of God, to prevent a negative attitude from taking over our thoughts and deeds and making us take paths into a kingdom of waste, where time of thought and deed has no value and does good for no one, possibly even harming some innocent bystanders with gossip or slander and leading others into the kingdom of waste where negative thoughts of selfish greed are too strong to overcome without the Love and Truth of Jesus Christ. Please may the Holy Spirit lead us away from the harm of wasted time and onto the positive paths of seeking Your Kingdom, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Ro 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Ro 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Ro 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Ro 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Not to Worry
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit take us to paths that will lead to confidence, peace of mind, and joy for others and ourselves. As we evaluate the happenings of the day may we not build them into problems to worry about or make problems where they are not simply by worrying about what might happen, instead help us learn to turn everything over to You so we can enjoy overcoming challenges and making good things come from what seemed to be bad, for others and ourselves. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Serving
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit be with us guiding us in every deed and thought throughout the day. Please may the day be exciting and fun with meeting and making friends with new people and feeling the warmth of friendship and brotherly love as we strive together toward the same goal of serving others.

Patient and Wise
Dear Lord please help us to be generous and wise this day and may the Holy Spirit show us how to be patient and wise as we deal with others. Please forgive our impatience and mistakes of selfishness as we become busy and tired and please be quick and gentle to correct us with what guidance is necessary. Thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

There is one form of hope which is never unwise, and which certainly does not diminish with the increase of knowledge. In that form it changes its name and we call it patience. -Bulwer-Lytton
KJV*
Jas 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Jas 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Jas 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Agenda
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit give us opportunities to use common sense in making our decisions this day. May the agenda of others not spill over into our lives if their priorities are not in harmony with the values and priorities that we find through common sense as we try to seek Your Kingdom and draw close to the Truths taught by Jesus. Please lead us to experiencing the wonders of the new discoveries that You are revealing to Your creation about Your creation, and away from the traps of defending ancient traditional myths, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Col 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
1Ti 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
1Ti 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
Col 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
