{blessings}
Close Doors
Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere. May you be blessed to know when to say no. God has a plan for you at this stage in your life, listen with prayer and discover the true opportunities that await you.
Connections
In some ways you are the same as every one of God’s children here on earth. You feel, you hurt, you love, you laugh. Yet in other ways you are completely different. May you be blessed to appreciate the connection with your brothers and sisters, while celebrating your own unique connection with God.
On Your Side
Do you ever feel like they’re all against you? Stand your ground – you’re right and you know it. May you be blessed with resolve and strength of spirit against all the naysayers. God is on your side.
Company of a Loved One
Your cell phone brings you closer to the person far away from you, but it can also take you away from the person sitting right next to you. May you be blessed to make the most of the moments you share in the company of a loved one.
Live Right
You can’t exercise your way out of a bad diet. Same goes for your spiritual life—you can’t pray your way out of bad behavior. May you be blessed to live right, eat right, and pray right. Start now, it’s easier and better than the alternative.
{prayers}
Start Again
Today, I hold still to balance and recharge, to release the week before and prepare for the week ahead. With You here beside me, my mind quiets to hear Your voice. My heart opens to draw You in. And, with Your peace within and around me, I thank You for this chance to start again. amen
Goodness is Goal
My God, I pray to please You in all I do, all I dream of, all my heart holds dear. May my desire be pure and my Spirit holy. Goodness is my goal. Amen
Bigger
Help me God to become bigger. Bigger than my problems. Bigger than the adversity I face. I pray that I will find strength and confidence to be bigger than life’s challenges.
Through My Faith
Holy God, You are my rock and my salvation and my fortress. I shall not be shaken. With Your help I remain calm in all situations because I know that You are constantly with me. I accept and remember Your presence in my life, now, and always. I react accordingly throughout this day. I am fearless and I do not let my emotions control me. Through my faith in Your protecting presence I face this day with confidence and I am free from concern. Thank You God, for Your protection and love. I choose to live fearlessly and to take control of my life. I am no longer a prisoner of fear; rather I am powerful in my faith. Amen
Gift of Land, Sea and Sky
I am so aware of You. My eyes and my senses are in full worship. How can it be that I am so privileged to gaze upon Your creation? Thank You for the gift of land, sea, and sky.

Understanding religion is simple. Religion is kindness.
The Word
The student asked his teacher: Can you explain the Bible to me? The teacher replied: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That’s the entire Word.

Find yourself a teacher, acquire for yourself a friend, and judge everyone with grace.
Three Things
The world stands on three things: Hard work, good deeds and Godly behavior.
Peaceful
Be a lover of peace, a pursuer of peace, be one who is peaceful.
Death is Not the Enemy
I often feel that death is not the enemy of life, but its friend; for it is the knowledge that our years are limited which makes them so precious.

But now we have been given a brief moment of grace.
Psalms 36:7-9
