Circles
May God bless the circles of friends, family, and faith that travel through you today.
Good Looks
Never try to be someone else’s definition of beautiful. May you be blessed to embrace your God-given beauty and to give praise to your Maker for your good looks.
Now Here

{prayers}
Workers Prayer
God Almighty, we live moment by moment to glorify Your amazing works. Hallelujah! Thank You for purpose, pride, and gainful employment. Bless the unsung heroes of the workforce, who labor unseen and underappreciated. Bless those who seek labor and have yet to find it. Bless those who are infirm and cannot work. We are thankful for Your protection. We raise our collective voice in praise to You, Maker of the Universe.
Rough Edges
Dear God, I am broken. Sharp jagged points define me. Smooth the rough edges. Make me whole again. Bless me with Your precious and powerful gifts of renewal. Amen
Waking Me
Thank You, God, for waking me to another day of life. May this day be joyful, productive, enlightening, and meaningful. Praise to You, who brings me from night to day in peace and safety.
Return to Whole
Here in prayer, You stir my soul. I came in pieces; You return me whole. My heart sings out with praise to You, Thank You, God, for all You do.
Beauty in Change
Dear God, Thank You for the reminder that change can be beautiful. Falling leaves, school bus sounds, crisp cool mornings. Praise to You who brings on the seasons. Amen
