Thank You, Lord, for helping me to change my attitude toward things I need to do.
Help me to find a bit of gladness in all things.

Pain of the World

Forgive us if this day we have done or said anything to increase the pain of the world.

Pardon 

• the judgmental attitude, 
• the unkind word, 
• the impatient gesture, 
• the hard and selfish deed, 
• the failure to show sympathy and kindly help  

where we had the opportunity, but missed it.

Amen.

(Frederick B. Meyer, in Flowers Along the Path, by Esther Carls Dodgen, p. 330)

What Seems To Be The Problem?

When facing problems, remember that it is useless to look for someone to blame or criticize. Instead, consider how you can help find a solution.
(The One Year Book Of Bible Readings, 17 October)

I pray for the wisdom to take a rational and tolerant attitude toward whatever troubles I must face each day.

The End

If we lived each day as though it would be our last one on earth, wouldn't we have a different attitude?

Daniel Prayed

(Daniel) knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days. (Daniel 6:10)

It isn't the length of time I spend in my quiet time, though I usually take an hour, but there is a carry-over of the activity of prayer, the attitude of prayer, that marks the rest of the day. (Stephen Olford)

Courage To Be Decisive

Attitude Control

Lord, I refuse to let my attitude be controlled by regrets and worries that reflect a lack of trust in You. My goal is to take every thought captive and destroy any thought that contradicts my knowledge of You. Through the power of Your Holy Spirit, I pray that you will enable me to do this. (Kay Arthur, Search My Heart, O God, 22 November)
