COVER YOURSELF WITH THE BLOOD

Father, thank You for another blessing, and we ask for wisdom and spiritual understanding.  So we may conduct ourselves in a manner worthy; of You, fully pleasing You, and being fruitful in every good work.  Lord, thank You for the renewing of our bodies and minds; that we may put on tender mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; to bear with and forgive one another, as You have forgiven us; and allowed us another day to get it right.  Father, we pray that we all speak on one accord, with no divisions among us; and let us stand in one Spirit and striving together.    Lord, let us not be carried about with various and strange doctrines.  Father, we pray for the Church, may the whole body be knitted and joined, ready to give to the poor and share with those in need.  Lord, we pray that all Christians do their part causing growth to Your kingdom and strength to our Spirits.  Father, we know not what this day will bring, but please prepare us for whatever comes.  Lord, help us make this prayer more than words, so give us Your strength, courage, and love to, and this will be accomplished.  In Jesus Christ's name, Amen.
