Week Ending: Friday November 20, 2020
{quotes}
Regret for wasted time is more wasted time.
Mason Cooley
Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Avoiding your triggers isn’t healing. Healing happens when you’re triggered and you’re able to move through the pain, the pattern, and the story, and walk your way to a different ending.
Vienna Pharaon
Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
John Wooden
What you are seeking is seeking you.
Rumi
{blessings}
In Stride
Some people walk briskly through life with confidence and swagger. Others move along with hesitation; treading softly, and using caution when placing one foot in front of the other. Both ways work. God blesses us with different ways to get to where we’re going. May you find your stride and arrive safely where you belong.
Be the Reason
Be the reason someone knows God is good. May you be blessed to be, the example they seek.
Walking Alone
The hardest walk is walking alone, but it also makes you the strongest. May God bless you with steady steps and an independent spirit.
Don’t Fight
Fight back differently next time. When you’re attacked, don’t respond with more of the same. Instead, let thoughts of understanding prevail. May you be blessed with an even temper that resists the urge to get even. God bless you.
Well-Timed Wisdom
Experience is something you usually don’t get until just after you need it. May God bless you with well-timed wisdom.
{prayers}
Time to Understand
Dear God, it’s too easy to judge and so difficult to take the time to understand. Slow my impulse to react negatively, and allow me to form a fair reaction based on faith, brimming with kindness, and steeped in love.
Leaning on God
Dear God, I lean on You, for I know Your strength will support me. I lean on You, Your comforting spirit will help me endure the pain, and Your healing hands will bring wellness and joy once more. I lean on You, for the nearness of Your presence brings me courage, hope, and fills me with peace. Praise to You, God who is with me always.
Without Drama
Dear God, Surround me with people who push me to do better. Without drama. With no hidden agenda. Surround me with people whose intention is pure. Who will support my success. Thank You God, for the people in my life who love and care about me.
Patience to Trust
Loving God, grant me the patience to trust in Your sovereign plan.
Miracles Happen
Lord, grant me the courage I need to face all difficulties, knowing that with Your help, miracles happen and lives are restored.
