{blessings}
Fullness of Life
May God bless you with the fullness of a good life, a useful one, a life centered by God, lived joyfully by you.
Peaceful Rest
May God bless you with rest and contemplation. Like a good book that slips through your fingers as your mind peacefully wanders, embrace the calm to allow in an intimate moment.
Blessings Abound
Blessings abound when you look around. Don’t miss the moments God has set before you, pure pleasure and awe.
Daily Courage
Don’t be chicken. Be brave and beautiful in all that you do and about all that you are. May God bless you with the daily courage to get you through tough times.
An Irish Blessing Snippet
May the wind be always at your back.
{prayers}
Accepting God’s Gifts
Dear God, Whatever it is that’s out there for me, I accept it. I pray for a great calm. I rejoice in an endless horizon. Yes, Lord, my heart is open my hands outstretched. I accept it.
Circle of Spirit
Dear God, my circle shapes my spirit. Bless me with a circle open to good friends and new experiences, yet closed to those with hardened, bitter hearts.
Look Around
O God, I look around me, and I see so much of Your holy presence. Thank You for making life beautiful. My eyes delight in Your creation.
Rely on God
Standing alone is no longer an option. We rely on You, dear God, for strength and support. To calm overactive minds and worried hearts. To provide peace over panic and to release our fears. Thank You for never letting us down.
Upright
Dear God, You keep me upright when the moment calls for me to collapse. Your holiness surrounds me, steadies me, and infuses me with confidence and positivity. Blessed are You, O Lord, strength of my strength.
