A Collect for Guidance
O heavenly Father, in whom we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray thee so to guide and govern us by thy Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget thee, but may remember that we are ever walking in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for all the wonderful things You created in this world for us to enjoy. Lord, I know when You restrict anything from us, it is for our good, and because You love us. Help me not to yield to the temptation to go beyond the boundaries that You have set for mankind in Your Word. Deliver me from all lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of this life. May I set my eyes on eternal things and hold loosely the things of this world and use them for Your glory. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Speaking in the Spirit
Ephesians 5:15-20
Dear Father,
Help me speak to my spouse, my family, your church, and the world about you and your grace.
Let my heart and my mouth overflow with the music of praise - psalms and hymns and spiritual songs - as I sing and make melody in my heart to the Lord.
Fill me with constant thanksgiving to you for everything. In the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
