Heavenly Father, the Scriptures asks, “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” That’s such an important thought-provoking question since we know there are only two paths we must choose from which gives room for two contrasting views. We can enter through the narrow gate which is small and the way is narrow that leads to life. Few look for this path so they can easily miss this narrow entrance to eternal life. Sadly, the vast majority enter the gate that is wide and the way that is broad that leads to destruction. We must be in alliance with the one we walk alongside lest we clash with conflicting viewpoints and contrasting goals. Grant us discernment, discipline, and direction when choosing our life partner, business associate or any other person in which we must unite in making decisions. For those who are presently unequally yoked grant them grace to live carefully, watching their lives and doctrine closely, so that they will positively influence their partner, co-worker or family member to consider the claims of the Gospel which may ultimately lead them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. It’s in His name that we pray, Amen.

Please don't revise Jim's prayers. They are perfect just the way they are. God is not criticizing it. If a word is misspelled or misplaced, it's no big deal....

I use resources that I find within the context of my own understanding. This was a major revision, however, Hereafter I will not mention any alterations I make when resharing.

Daily, I also share Sister Bernardita Dianzon's (Philippines, Pauline teaching nun) Gospel Power posts. There, her text is part of her graphic, and her writing level is much more 'learned' than Jim's. That is to say, her English is skillfully and artfully concise - after all, she teaches in seminaries in the Philippines and her STUDY is of Paul! BUT WHEN inspired by her posts or Jim's prayers, I often prefix my re-shares of the images (and text, in Jim's case" with whatever the original writings have led me to say.

I truly appreciate your reasoning. And I meant no disrespect to you... I just had to let it be known that it kinda got to me everytime I've seen you revise...
