Prayables Daily Blessings Week of April 1, 2017
{wisdom}
It sure is hard to get angry with someone, when you’re thinking of all the reasons you love them.
Many paths lead from the foot of the mountain, but at the peak we all gaze at the single bright sun.
Kindness makes way for mistakes and forgiveness.
Carpe diem.
Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you. Listen in such a way that they love to speak to you.
Enjoy all you have while pursuing all you want.
{blessings}
Cherish the time when you first realize you’ve woken up but haven’t opened your eyes yet. It’s God time. Stretch out your body and wiggle your toes. Pray. Praise. Reflect. May you be blessed with an awakening of gratitude for the gift of another glorious God-given day.
Awaken
Just maybe you’re not afraid of change…rather, you’re frightened by the idea of loss. Uncertainty is a busy emotion. It swirls and twirls, dips and dives into uncharted territory that creates fear. May you be blessed to welcome change. Be certain of this: Change is gain and good for the soul.
Change is Gain
You come home, make some tea, sit down in your armchair and all around there’s silence. You decide for yourself whether that’s loneliness or freedom. May you be blessed to enjoy your own company without want for something or someone better to come along. You are enough.
You are Enough
Take a look at the world as a connected family, rather than as a walled off collection of circles, cities, and countries. When you do, you’ll realize how much you all have in common. May you be blessed with family so large and so far-reaching that wherever you go, in body or spirit, you belong.
Connected Family
A ship doesn’t sink because of the water around it. The ship sinks because the water gets inside it. May you be blessed with contentment, even when you are surrounded by overwhelming external forces. Don’t let what’s happening around you, bring you down.
Never Down
Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart. May you be blessed with joy so exquisite, words can not describe it.
Indescribable
{prayers}
Dear God, You are my reason for being. You are why I wake up each day, and sleep peacefully each night. Every single second is a sacred moment as I live utterly devoted to You. Amen
Reason for Being
Dear God, Wake me. Arouse me from slumber. Sharpen my senses so that I may see clearly and hear precisely. Help me notice fragrant blooms. Bless me with the will to taste fully. Show me all the beauty that surrounds me. Amen
Wake Up
Dear God, I lean on You because I know You care about me. Your strength supports me, Your love carries me. You are here for me: To help me through every pain. To be my eyes when I feel the need to turn away. To be my ears when I can’t bear to hear what has to be said. To be my heart, always filled with hope and courage. Thank You.
My Heart
Lord, there’s a lesson in here somewhere, it’s in everything I do. But camouflaged as it may be, I have to look for clues. Life pleasures are mine to receive, because You Lord give me reason to believe. amen
Camouflage
My God I offer to you all that I am not to create with it all that I am. Send Your forces around me. Through me. Permeate me. Gently. Yet boldly. Undeniably. I forgo all past violations of myself. Through darkness I’ve crawled just to meet You here. All the sacrifice lies behind me. Only Your love stands before me. And now, may Your power finally lie within me. amen
Power Within
Dear God, Mixed in with destiny is chance. One slight happenstance and my life could change completely. Remind me to be clever. Inspire me to take advantage of opportunities. Cause the odds to be in my favor and I will forever be grateful. Amen
Chance

Please pray for me for a man which can understand me, love me & respect me as a human. I am married but is about to divorce anytime. I was in a marriage where i was physically abused.
– mend my heart
– keep us together LOST CUSTODY OF MY CHILDREN
My children were taken away from me a year and a half ago because I was labeled mentally unstable. I have only been allowed to see them 12 times since then. It was required by the court that I have only supervised visitation. But it costs $60 an hour. I can no longer afford to pay to see them. I am also Bipolar, have a spinal injury and am on disability. I do not work. I feel depressed, lonely, hopeless and have a lot of negative feelings. I really miss my 2 children so very much.

MY SON
2 months back I asked for prayers for my son who is an addict. He went into drug treatment on Jan 27th! PRAISE GOD! Now I am asking for prayers that he his illness does not prevent him from enlisting into the army or national guard as he wants to do. Please pray he can do this OR find a sober living that continues to help him live drug free. Pray for continued strength in battling this disease and for God to wrap his mighty arms around him so no evil can get to him and so he is not lead astray again.
-Kim E.
FIGHTING THE FIGHT
Please pray for my friend Brian to have a change of heart, to find peace, forgiveness, love, to reach out and fight his internal demons. He is loved and appreciated, and needs Divine miracle. Amen
-Val A.
TURNING TO VICTORY
Shalom. I have been given a prayer for help with internet pornography. It would seem that the battle is turning into a victory but I hope still the prayer for help. God bless
-Henry I.
DEATH OF A FRIEND
My friend’s death leaves me angry. My well educated, very intelligent friend was a bit like Scarlett O’hara – “I’ll think about that another day” I found out once the cancer had spread to her liver that she had noticed the lump on her breast 6 months before she went to the doctor. I have repeatedly, since that day, written her numerous letters telling of my anger and frustration. I have cussed her, threatened to strangle her, etc. Then I burned them. So note to all, don’t put off seeing the doctor.
