{quotes}

Don’t take too much credit for your children or too much blame.

{blessings}

Give & Get
The happiest people in life are the givers, not the getters. May God bless you to be generous to all who need it, and even to those who don’t.

God’s Protection
Where God guides, God provides. May God’s protection be with you today, tomorrow, and always.

Celebrate with Kindness
Bless and be blessed. Throw kindness around like confetti. God loves a celebration.

Draped in Holiness
Everything you see is draped in holiness. May God bless you with awe at the spiritual beauty of all that surrounds you.

Blessing for Self-Change
The secret to successful self-change is to rely as little as possible on your own willpower. May God bless you with strategic change that eliminates the options for failure by strengthening the supports around you.

{prayers}

Silent Prayer
Dear God, there is nothing as certain as silence to help me understand the secrets of myself. I come to You in silent prayer. Reveal Yourself, and I will be revealed.

Thank You God Prayer
Lord, I thank You for all You give, for the love I receive, and the life I live. Others grumble but not me – it’s true, I cheerfully appreciate everything You do. When times are rough and faith slips away, I simply count blessings, and with me, You stay. Amen

Two of Us
Dear God, Bless us in twos. Show us favor as a couple, help us to appreciate the sanctity of our union, and let these two hearts forever be joined as one. Amen

Every Living Thing
It is not me alone who prays. It is not me with others who pray. It’s not only people who pray. Every creature and every living thing prays. The heavens pray. The earth prays. We all give praise as prayer to the Almighty.

Prayer for Friendship
I wish. I hope. I pray. God, bring the gift of friendship to all who need it. Let them know the grace of having an understanding friend, the joy of someone to laugh with, and the sweet sense of belonging.
