Prayers and Scripture for Guidance

Psalm 31:1-5, Micah 6:8, Matthew 6:25-34
O Lord, direct us this day in the ways of love and peace. You have shown us that love never ends. Give us patience when our own grows thin. You have advised us that peace is in the hearts of your children. Help us to seek it there. In the darkness of our lives, guide us to the light of your truth that we may show mercy as you have shown compassion to us. This we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
O God, who calls us to be disciples, direct our path to be instruments of your grace. Help us so that we do not stumble or cause another to fall. Guide us to be just and kind in all our relationships. Give to us the quiet confidence that comes from your spirit of wisdom saving us from false choices. Amen.
