{blessings}

It’s a virtue to see the good in others and to perceive people positively. When you give someone the benefit of the doubt, you are drawing out their inner goodness. The blessing will be yours, and you will always keep the company of good people.

There are people who live gracefully with pain, and there are a fortunate few who rarely experience it. May God bless you with ease from any pain you endure.

The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning. Start your day the right way. See your blessings clearly, and you’ll turn that troublemaker into an opportunity maker.

If you’re just looking, stay home. There’s plenty to see from your couch. But if you want to make a difference in your life, it begins by getting out there and experiencing all the good the world has to offer. May you be blessed to live life to the max.

It doesn’t take a very big person to carry a grudge. But it does take a big person, with a big heart, not to. May God bless you with the grace to forgive.

{prayers}

Focus on God’s Love
For this moment, I look away from the disgrace of human folly. I focus on the world You offer. I marvel at the miracles. All I can see is evidence of Your love for us. Praise God! Who gives abundantly.

Peace Enters
In prayer, my struggle ends, peace enters, and my breath returns to me. Praise to You, God, who centers me, who comforts and revives me.

Family Favor
Dear God, bless this family. May Your Spirit lead us to gentle words and affection toward each other. May Your teachings show us how to behave when we are out in the world. Temper our evil inclinations and grant us a generous measure of Your favor.

Prepare the Way
Lord, give me the courage to walk unafraid. To be bold, confident, and strong. Dissuade me from hiding behind excuses. Divert me when I am headed in the wrong direction. Almighty One, hear my prayer and help me change course. Praise to You who prepares the way.

Holy Companion
Serene days and graceful walks You attend to me. Mean nights and treacherous journeys You defend me. It is Your way to be with me. It is my will to honor You, my holy companion.
