Week Ending Friday, December 10, 2021
Don’t let the sun go down without saying thank you to someone, and without admitting to yourself that absolutely no one gets to this point on their own.
Stephen King
Truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it. Ignorance may deride it. Malice may distort it. But there it is.
Winston Churchill
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perhaps, what we have in common are the questions.
Krista Tippett
Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose – a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.
Mary Shelley
{blessings}
Worth Remembering
God made you good. You received an often underappreciated blessing that’s worth remembering. May you always use your goodness as a defense against temptation and sin.
Prayer Space
May you be blessed to go gently, silently, into a sacred prayer space where there is no one and nothing else except you and your God.
Smart Choices
Asking for prayer is not a sign of weakness but wisdom. May God bless you with answered prayers and more wise choices in the future.
Spiritual Appetite
When you feed your faith you starve your doubts. May God bless you with a healthy spiritual appetite – Bon appetit!
Wide-Open Avenues
Generosity unlocks the doors that are closed to you. May you be blessed with wide-open avenues to peace and success.
{prayers}
Godly as Two
God bless our relationship. Spare us the trials that come with loving another. Grace us with patience, tolerance, and a sense of humor while we learn to live happily with each other. Show us what it means to be Godly as two, bless us with lasting love that comes from You.
Fly to the Moon
If I could fly to the moon and back, it wouldn’t be half as hard as getting through this present difficulty. Dear God, help me see that there is an end in sight, and we will all be better off for the struggle. Lend me Your strength, and I will carry on.
Faulty Pieces
Help with healing is what I need. To fix the faulty pieces of my mind and body, to bring relief from pain, and to bring in the light of God’s holy healing. May complete recovery come soon.
Company of Friends
God bless me with friends who challenge me, bring me out of my comfort zone, and help me be my best self. Bless me with friendships filled with good conversations that are healthy, humble, and true. Help me choose wisely so that I may have worthy relationships with kind people steeped in good values and sound in spirit. May I always feel joy when I am in the company of my friends.
Breeze of Faith
Dear God, I’m asking for a fresh breeze of faith. Answering a few of my prayers would fill my sails just fine. Help me move gracefully on the waves of Your Word.
