{blessings}
Master Forgiveness
You practice forgiveness to either right a wrong, to offer grace when you have been wronged, or because it’s wrong to be angry and resentful. May you be blessed to master forgiveness for any and every reason. Oh, and always remember there is One who is most forgiving of all.
Sacred Silence
You know how you get so exhausted, but you still have more to do? Sit still for a minute and call it prayer. In pause you speak to God. May you be blessed with moments of sacred silent conversations with your Lord.
Breathless
Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away. May you be blessed with breathless tummy-tingling joy.
Change Worthy
It’s daunting to do it. You’re feeling uncomfortable. Change is like that…at first. But it’s your time. Now is your moment. May you be blessed with ease and confidence as you move forward with your life-changing plans.
Counted On
You may not always realize it, but they count on you. You’re an inspiration, a comfort, a necessity. May you continue to be a blessing to so many. Stand up and show up for the ones who need you.
{prayers}
I Simply Ask
Lord, once more I come to you asking for help. Teach me to handle disappointment with a loving spirit towards those who let me down. I don’t ask for miracles. I know I can’t control the actions of others. I simply ask that I be stronger and wiser. I will never stop getting my hopes up. I will always believe and trust. Maybe one day, the broken promises will come back fulfilled. amen
Prayer for Pets
God bless my loved one with many carefree days curled up comfortably by my side, running in the sun and giving endless kisses to all who need the love my sweet creature provides.
Masterful
Show me my place today. Let me see that I am not just witnessing this world. I am part of it. All of it. I am not separate from Your air or Your animals. I am not separate from Your oceans or forests. I am certainly not separate from Your humans. So open my eyes and show me the cogs that join us. Let me witness my own rotation as a cause of spinning gears. Teach me at last to sustain and be sustained with perfect respect for the machine of Your masterful creation.
A Good Prayer
I pray for good news, good health and good graces. I pray to do a good job and have work that provides a good living. I pray for my loved ones to be good to one another. Praise to You, good God who hears prayer.
Hold My Head Up
Dear God, Hold my head up Steady my emotions Give me wit and wisdom Rise me up beyond my imperfections Hear the stirrings in my soul Bring me closer to You. Amen

{affirmations}
Filthy Rich
My goal is to be filthy rich. Rich with love, rich with pleasure, rich with adventure, rich with family, friends, and God.
God is There
The light of God surrounds me. The love of God enfolds me. The power of God protects me. The presence of God watches over me. Wherever I am, God is there.
Not to Be Distracted
I will not be distracted. Purpose. Passion and Prayer will be my guide.
Toward God
I am content to learn from followers of other paths and to walk with them side by side toward the God who lives, I believe, beyond the images that bind and blind us all.
Firing the Negative
I will tell the negative committee that meets inside my head to sit down and shut up.
