Dear Lord thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and please forgive our sins as we forgive the sins of others. May the Holy Spirit please be with us this day in every thought and deed and please use us to further the coming of Your Kingdom. Help us to have love in our motives as we deal with others and please show us where to give encouragement and where to take encouragement as we tread the paths that Your plans for us provide. Please help us to show wisdom and have good judgement in the decisions that we make on this day, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Lu 12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Lu 12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Lu 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Lu 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
Lu 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Disappointment
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit guide and protect us in every deed and thought of this day. Please help us choose paths that will prepare us for witness for the sake of those who may be seeking Your Kingdom. Thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and please forgive our sins as we forgive the mistakes of others. Please lead us to understand the difference between having all that we need with peace of mind from living with simplicity, or trying to cope with a world of lustful greed and envy, full of disappointment and misplaced allegiance to a selfish creed. Please help us to live by the golden rule, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Measure
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be watching over us as we make our decisions for this day. Thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and please forgive our sins as we forgive the mistakes of others. Please show us the way to measure out the proper proportions of love that we distribute among those that we touch on this day, and may we not move away and pass by when we see needs that we can help with. Please lead us into opportunities to demonstrate wisdom and when we are misled by selfish motives may the results be humbling lessons of the truths that Jesus taught and still teaches this day to those who will listen. Please show us that the more seeds of love that we sow, the larger the harvest of peace and joy that will surround us. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Mt 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Mt 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Ga 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Harmony
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us on this day in all that we say and do. Please enter in to our minds and help us to imagine new possibilities and new paths that we may follow to find adventure and wonders of thought and deed in Your wonderful creation that is only a thought or deed away from us at all times. Please inspire us to do the work of Your Kingdom in some humble way, not seeking glory but the satisfaction of peace and joy of harmony among Your children, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Purpose
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please guide and protect us in all of our thoughts and deeds. Please help us to realize with some small understanding what our purpose is in Your creation, and if it be Your Will, help us enable others to come to some small understanding of their purposes and what paths to take to seek Your Kingdom. Please instill and imprint in our innermost beings all of the virtues of humble love and unselfish generosity that our little minds can absorb. 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.

Float
Dear Lord please help us overcome all of the adversity that comes to us on the paths that we must travel on this day. Please may the Holy Spirit give us all of the strength, faith, and courage that we need to withstand, and also the understanding and wisdom to surrender our will for Yours when situations seem to become beyond our ability to cope. Please help us to relax and float on top of problems with You, and not struggle and be pulled down because we are trying to control all, by demanding our own will. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
