I have been thinking about how I could pray for you and what you could use in addition to blessings, health, and joy – and with that, I cover the most important things.
I ask God that you have a good life filled with celebration, family, friends, and happy children. I pray you will have peace of mind and well-slept nights. I pray for your sunny and anxiety-free mornings, newspapers with good news, and peace projects.
I pray that you will always be loved, adored, and respected. I wish you wonderful friends and family who worry about you when necessary and are comfortable that you are all right on your own. May the people in your life always be present when you talk, and may you, too, return the courtesy.
I pray for your good mammograms. If you need injections, may they be Botox and not antibiotics. May your pharmacy bills be for cosmetics, not remedies, and may your supermarket bills be for chocolates, not Activia.
I pray you will have many coffee conversations, well-read books, and well-done work. May you have a life with vacations, walks, and escapes.
I hope you will sing loudly when you are in the car alone and dance when the music moves you. And laughter, the kind that makes you cry. Laughter so loud that you have to bend over and close your legs tightly to avoid peeing. Daily and weekly laughter, spontaneous laughter, laughter at stupid things. The laughter that drives away fears and fills you with more blessed wrinkles.
I pray people deal fairly with you in business. May you have enough money to spend on yourself and others. May you not lack for anything. May you give away a bundle to charity, and may that money be well-spent and life-changing.
I pray for abundance in this good life for you and yours. Appreciate it, share it, and thank God for it all.
