{prayers}
Listen.
I listen to the small still voice inside of me. It tells me to notice the moments of peace, to find my way to the holy, to be awed by God’s grace.
Why Do Bad Things Happen to Me?
Dear God, I believe that every hardship in life holds the key to greater understanding. Help me unlock the mystery of why this is happening now and what I can learn from it. My faith in You is unwavering. I wait for the revelation that will help me grow.
Real Me
You know the prayers in my heart. You hear me when I weep silently. You remind me to celebrate the small victories. You see the real me I hide from others. You love me despite my flaws, and You teach me to use my strengths only for good. Blessed am I, child of God.
Daily Cycle
I gratefully thank You, O Lord, for the soul You have given me is pure, the breath You breathed into me fills my lungs with life, and my mind is alive with anticipation for the day to come. Blessed is this daily cycle only You provide.
Island of God
No one is an island. No one stands alone. You, dear God, are the rock that steadies us, the air we breathe, the earth beneath our feet. Praise to You, who sustains us.
{bible}
