{blessings}
Fly Away
The bird who dares to fall is the bird who learns to fly. May God bless you to take chances. Spread your wings and take flight.
God-kissed Curiosity
Aspire. Inspire. Inquire. These are your commandments today. May you be a blessing today in the spirit of aspiration, inspiration, and God-kissed curiosity.
Blessing: Daunting
When you’ve been given a dreadful chore to do, graciously accept it. May God bless you with a positive spirit and a will-do attitude!
Puzzled
Yes, you can be difficult. It’s frustrating trying to figure out why you do the things you do that others don’t. Keep at it. May you be blessed to embrace the puzzle that is you.
Pick a Side
Error on the side of faith rather than on the side of doubt. May God bless you with faith so strong doubt can’t possibly survive.
{prayers}
With Me Always
Dear God, I have no greater joy than awakening to Your ever-abiding holy Presence. Praise to You, always with me, always for me, always will be. Amen
Grace of God
The grace of God is working in my life right now. The grace of God is alive in every aspect of my being. The grace of God is assurance, it always works out.
Sister Ways
Dear God, thank you for my sister. She lets me know I am loved with unsaid words. I understand it’s “her way” to dial back the emotion, cut the sentimentality short, and let loose the love by supporting me without hesitation. Bless my sister with long, happy years living in good health and good humor—praise to You, who, with infinite wisdom, matches up siblings who love one another.
In My Favor
Dear God. Mixed in with destiny is chance. One slight happenstance and my life could change completely. Remind me to be clever. Inspire me to take advantage of opportunities. Cause the odds to be in my favor, and I will be forever grateful.
Healing Now!
Dear God, Healing is needed NOW! Hear my prayers, know my heart, and find the way to complete recovery for the people in my life, and others, who are hurting, who are helpless, and who can not get well without Your grace. We all give praise to You, Master Healer. Holy Father.
