Here we are Lord.  Here we are to worship and give thanks for all of the blessings that You share with us.  Sometimes people leave us and other times the world turns it’s back on us.  But You, God, are always there.   Protect our minds so that we can focus on our relationship with You.   Shield our hearts from the wicked and help us to trust in Your truth.   And lastly, anoint Your Word in our lives so that Your Holy Spirit can work through us and our lives can be a living testimony to others about what God can do in our lives.   Stop us from letting our will be done here on earth instead of Yours.  Give us the strength to live this life fully for the glory of the Lord. Remove the greed, selfishness and hate and restore us with Your love, compassion and forgiveness so that even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we will fear no evil because You walk with us now and forever.  Amen.
