O LORD, set a guard over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth. Your words are spirit and life, and I pray that the Word of God may dwell richly in me with all wisdom. Then my words will be seasoned with grace, and my tongue will keep me from calamity, in the name of Jesus. Amen

*****

Dear Lord, You have said that where a man's treasure is, there his heart will be also,* and that as a man thinketh, so he becomes.** In short, I will become what I love. If I love what is base, I will become base, if noble, I will become noble. ... Oh Lord, help me to be careful of how I spend my time, of what I put into my mind, and of whom I choose as companions. ... Help me, Lord, to desire You and Your will for my life. I cannot serve two masters -- You and the world. Help me to choose You.

In Your holy name I pray.

Amen.

* (Luke 12:34)
** (Prov. 23:7)

Gracious Father, forbid that I should make thee regret thy gifts to me; and if I have failed to appreciate them, look upon me with pity, for I have cheated myself more than I have thee. Give me a deeper appreciation, that I may be strengthened day by day in the veriest duties of life. Amen.

Dear Father, I do appreciate all that You have done for me. Thank you, for the favor and kindness You show me through others. May I show love and kindness to all who know me. Lord, You tell us in Your Word that we are to love one another and when we do that, we bring glory to Your name. You tell us that when we truly love one another, men will see it and know that we are Your disciples. May we demonstrate Your love to all who know us. Forgive us when we have failed to show love and have yielded to our own selfishness. We know that if we proclaim our love for You, that we must also demonstrate it by loving each other. Change us and fill us with Your love is my prayer. I ask this in the name our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thank you Father for this new morning and for the warm sun, and fresh air. You provide for us each day exactly what we need. Your Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness as you are our strength, and our hope. When we don’t know how to pray, you help us, and you bring encouragement through your word, and hymns of praise. So as we begin today may we continue to walk with you, learning each day your wisdom, love, and forgiveness that you so willingly bestow on each of us. May we stop complaining and begin to rejoice in all that You are.
