Everything from Prayables Week of March 11, 2017
WISDOM
Remember, failure is an event, not a person.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up, and don’t give up.
You are loved for all you are and all you are yet to be.
Look back and thank God. Look forward and trust God.
Wherever you are, plant your feet, open eyes, be completely there, be aware.
God, help me find new ways to love the same old loved ones.
There are two means of refuge from your misery, dogs and cats.
BLESSINGS
A bullfighter is daring and brave. The bull is feisty and fierce. Two together make for a passionate spectacle. May you be blessed to have fight in your soul and passion on your side. Fight for what you know to be right. What you believe to be true. Fight for the glory of God.
It will take a while for the hurt to heal. But heal you will. It won’t be tomorrow, this week, or next, but the memory does fade. The one thing you can do to get instant gratification…is to forgive. May you be blessed with relief. A grudge is like a cancer, it brings pain, worry, and exhaustion. Just let it go and you’ll see a new you — healthy, happy, and whole once more.
The true test of your character is what you do when no one is watching. May you be blessed with integrity. Be good. Be honest. Be trust worthy. God entrusted you to preserve the values of the Bible through courageous kindness and decency. With or without eyes upon you, behave accordingly.
One small positive thought in the morning can change an entire day. What’s yours today? May you be blessed with a beautiful picture in your mind’s eye. One that you aspire to. One that you remember fondly. One that brings you joy.
Angels look different than they did in the old days. Messengers of God have changed their get-up. They’re rocking the fashion of everyday people and show up in your life in the most unexpected ways. May you be blessed to welcome the angels who are earthly in appearances, yet other-worldly in their souls.
Wandering thoughts are so very human. It separates you from the critters that roam close to the ground and brings you together with the One who floats above. May you be blessed with Godly thoughts that surprise you without warning. In an instant you’re transported from the task at hand to an ethereal one, communing with your Lord. How fortunate to be you.
PRAYERS
Lord, You gave me 24 hours each day, and I thank You. I do not lack for time, but I do need Your direction. Show me Your priorities and I will make them mine. Guide me down paths I would not usually take. Help me make bold choices and see me through the process of follow up and completion. Praise to You most giving of purpose. amen
This is my prayer to You, my God. May my heart be open to every broken soul, to orphaned life, to every stumbler wandering unknown and groping in shadows. Bless my eyes, purify me to see beauty trise in the spirit of humanity. Deepen and broaden my senses to take from this flowering world the secret of life. Let not my spirit wither and shrivel in its thirst for You. Praise to the Holy One, oh so Divine.
Dear God, It is so hard for me to forgive the people in my life who have done me wrong. Help me to endure the hurt and get over it. Transform the anger to love. Resentment to respect. Bless me with compassion and I will begin to understand why. For me and for them I pray: May we all be good and fair to one another, and never again know pain, sorrow, or disappointment. amen
Dear God, I pray that each person find You in their own way. That they are profoundly moved by You. That hearts are warmed by Your love. May every seeker find a presence of peace so strong, that it cannot be denied. Let Your light shine on those in darkness. Amen
Dear God, let me not be discouraged by my failings. Let em take heart from all that is good and noble in my character. Keep me from falling victim to my own self-criticism. Grace me with confidence that I may be secure in serving others in love. Amen
O Lord my God teach my heart where and how to seek you, where and how to find you. You have made me
and remade me, You have bestowed on me all the good things I possess, and still I do not know you. I have not yet done that for which I was made. Teach me to seek you for I cannot seek you unless you teach me or find you unless you show yourself to me. Let me seek you in my desire, let me desire you in my seeking. Let me find you by loving you, let me love you when I find you. St. Anslem

AFFIRMATIONS
I am totally safe and surrounded by love, light, peace and joy.
On particularly rough days when I’m sure I can’t possibly endure, I will remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far, is 100% and that’s pretty good.
I will allow God to take charge this day. I will walk with God and match His pace, one foot in front of the other, in due time. I will be strong enough to take His lead, and compliant enough to be ready for it.
Everything I need will come at just the right time.
Today I will draw a line in the sand and have the discipline not to cross it.
I will not only say “God help me” I will add, “God, through me help others.”
